🎨✨ Summer Holiday Club 2026: Creative Medley!

A Creative Medley of Making, Creating & Fun!

Looking for a creative way to keep the children busy this summer?

Join Barkingside Art Club for four exciting Wednesdays packed with art, imagination, making, play and friendship. Our Summer Holiday Club is designed for children who love to create, explore new ideas and take home amazing projects.

Whether your child enjoys painting, sculpture, animation, printmaking or simply getting creative, there will be something exciting to discover each week.

Our Summer Holiday Club takes inspiration from famous animation films and visual worlds children love, including Toy Story, Minions, Super Mario, Moana, anime, manga and stop-motion animation.

Children will not copy existing characters. Instead, they will design their own original toys, creatures, prints, scenes and mini animations using painting, sculpture, printmaking and mixed media.
