Join us at Kelvin Hall on Saturday 9th November from 12-4pm to celebrate our third birthday with our annual Family Day celebration.
This year's theme is 'Go Green' based around our Gold Award for the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
We are working with Ricefield Arts again this year who will have a whole host of eco-friendly crafting activities. Have you ever watched a film or charged a phone using nothing but your legs? Sustrans will being bringing their pedal powered cinema and phone charging stations giving you the chance to do just that!
