Children and teenagers can make friends,
have fun, and develop some great new
skills at the fabulous Stagecoach holiday
drama clubs and workshops. These
workshops are designed for 8 to 18 year
olds, with some areas offering tailored
workshops for children aged 4 to 7 years.
At the end of their time at one of the
Stagecoach holiday workshops, the students will join together to showcase
their newfound singing, acting and dancing skills to family and friends. Your
child does not need previous dancing, singing or acting ability and does
not need to have attended term-time Stagecoach schools. No auditions
are required – just a willingness to give it a go!

If you thought skiing, snowboarding, and other snowy pursuits were strictly
wintertime activities, think again. This summer why not try something a little
different, and learn how to make your way down the slopes? Chatham Ski
& Snowboard Centre has the longest artificial slope in Kent and the South
East and is the premier snow sports’ facility in the region. It is also part of
the company, which teaches more people to ski and snowboard than
anyone else in the UK. The centre is open throughout the year and offers
skiers and snowboarders of all levels the facilities to practice and learn new
skills. There's an active ski club and snowboard club at the centre where
you can meet and learn skills from others with similar interests.

Go Ape
www.goape.co.uk // Nationwide
Go Ape is the UK’s
number one forest
adventure. Days out
with Go Ape are
about living life a
little more
adventurously,
having fun with
friends and family,
and getting in touch
with your inner
Tarzan! The classic
Go Ape experience
is the two-to-three
hour Tree Top
Adventure. You will
fly down our zipwires, leap off a
‘Tarzan Swing’, and
tackle tricky
crossings. There are
28 Go Ape
adventures around
the country, all set
in some of Britain’s
most spectacular
forests. No two Tree
Top Adventures are
the same, and some locations offer other outdoor activities like the Tree
Top Junior courses for kids and the brilliant Forest Segway Experience
safaris. The Grizedale Forest Go Ape is home to our very first Zip Trekking
Adventure. With Tree Top Junior, you can release your little monkeys onto
a Go Ape course designed for them. No one loves adventure more than
kids do!

Let your kids explore a child-size city at Westfield London, where they can
try out more than 60 real life role-play activities, from banking and acting
to fighting crime as a police officer. Each of KidZania London’s immersive
experiences is crafted to teach kids essential life skills including financial
literacy and independence, so there’s plenty to learn as they explore the
attraction. Many of the activities are run by high street names, such as
Innocent Drinks, where the little ones can have a go at smoothie making;
H&M, where they can learn about fashion and design; and Renault, which
lets them have a go at changing tyres on a scale version of a Formula E
racing car. There is even a British Airways terminal with an aircraft that’s
home to an Aviation Academy and Cabin Crew Training.
