Older Siblings are welcome to join in the summer activities. All sessions unless marked as ‘free’ have a suggested donation of £3 per family (except the Saturday sessions which are £5 per family and include drinks and snacks and the Forest School sessions). Concessions are available and we encourage you to make a donation of whatever you can afford (even if it is minimal). Cash & card payments are accepted at all sessions.
Wet Weather Plan: If the weather is bad, a decision will be made on the morning of each of the park sessions whether or not to relocate to Botley School. Information will be circulated on the day.
Session at Oxford Story Museum: We do require you to book onto this session with us by emailing coordinator@botleybridges.org. Unfortunately, due to the Story Museum’s risk assessment, this session is only open to children aged 0-5 and we cannot accommodate older siblings at this time. Places are limited and the cost is £3 per family.
Please sign up to the mailing list below, as all up to date information and/or changes to sessions are sent out from there. You can also check our Facebook page for information. Email coordinator@botleybridges.org for any further information.
