Due to the success of our Summer Fun Days that were held during a week of the summer holidays, we are holding another similar day at the region office. The region office is usually used throughout the week by external organisations who rent our meeting room space, but during school holiday periods we usually find the region space less busy, therefore we wanted to utilise the space as much as we can.
The day is a one-day activity/holiday club for young members and the cost is reasonably priced for a day of child care. So please share this information with parents, so that they can book on should they need childcare and are around or passing the Preston area in April.
Join us this Easter half term for our action packed and fun filled, Around The World Fun Days! at Region HQ. The day will be filled with a variety of different challenges, activities and experiences. A great opportunity to make new friendships with other members from across the region!
Open to all members between the ages of 5-14 from all counties within Girlguiding North West England.
Monday 7 April – Friday 11 April 2025, 8.30am – 5pm, Region HQ, Guiding Road, Preston, PR25PD.
Members will need to bring a packed lunch and anything else they require e.g. medication etc.
We also ask that members attending please wear their Girlguiding uniform.
£28 per member + booking fee.
Please note this event is non refundable.
