Nimble Arts Holiday Club in Forest Hill and East Dulwich
The fantastic and hugely popular Nimble Arts is running two holiday clubs in South-East London at Heber School and the Horniman School. My daughter has attended several of these holiday clubs over the years and the classes are hugely creative and the kids learn brilliant skills with a different theme each day. From going on a Viking Voyage, managing a Toy Factory, running the Nimble TV Studio, creating an Artist’s Sketchbook, exploring a Dessert Island or joining Sleuth School, every day is an adventure into the imagination! The Nimble Arts team put a huge amount of planning and effort into each holiday club which ensures they have lots of happy kids returning time and time again to their clubs.

Dulwich Picture Gallery Holiday Clubs
One of my favourite places in Dulwich is the beautiful Picture Gallery in the heart of the Village. There are shorter holiday clubs catering for ages 6 to 12 from 24th to 27th October. As part of the popular Museums at Night event, the gallery is open from 6pm – 9.30pm on the 28th of October for ages 4 to 18 to enjoy the Tove Jansson exhibition after dark. Let the Freshwater Theatre Company take you on a theatrical journey, make your own fabric Moomin creatures and help create a mystical den inspired by Moominvalley!
