🎃 Kids Halloween Art Camps

2 Days of Spooky Creativity, Fun & Friends!

Ages 5–12

Looking for a fun and creative way to keep your little monsters busy this Halloween? Our Kids Halloween Art Camps are packed with two days of spooky creativity, hands-on art, games, laughter and plenty of opportunities to make new friends!

Over two fun-filled days, children will explore a fantastic range of Halloween-themed art and craft activities, with projects designed to suit different ages, abilities and interests.

🎨 A Creative Adventure for Every Age

Children aged 5 and 12 have very different interests, abilities and levels of independence, so we divide the children into age-appropriate groups for activities.

This allows younger and older children to enjoy the camp together while taking part in projects and challenges that are appropriate for their age and experience.

Activities include:

• 🖌️ Drawing & Painting – with spooky Halloween themes
• 🎭 Sculpture & 3D Design
• 🎬 Stop-Motion Animation
• 👕 T-Shirt Design & Customisation
• 💍 Jewellery & Craft Design
• 👻 Halloween-Themed Creative Projects
• 🎨 And lots more creative surprises!

Younger children will enjoy projects and guidance suited to their age, while older children will have the opportunity to take on more detailed, independent and challenging creative projects.

All sessions are led by our experienced and qualified Art Teachers, who encourage children to try new things, develop their skills and, most importantly, have fun along the way.

There will also be plenty of opportunities for games, movement and snack breaks throughout the day.

Please note: Due to allergies and other dietary requirements, we no longer provide snacks at our camps. Children will have snack breaks and may bring their own snacks and drinks.

👩‍💻 For Parents – Workspace Available

Need to get some work done while your child enjoys camp?

We have a separate workspace available for parents who would like to work during the camp.

This can be particularly useful for parents who are working remotely or travelling from outside the area and need somewhere to work during the 10am–2pm camp.

Please note: The workspace  for parents/guardians is separate from the children’s camp activities.
