Families are invited to get into the Christmas spirit with a packed programme of free festive activities at Saturday Squad this November and December.
Taking place every Saturday from 12pm – 1pm, at Halton Lea Library and Widnes Library, Saturday Squad offers a fun mix of seasonal crafts, science activities and storytelling for children and their families.
From 14 November to 19 December, children can enjoy a different activity each week, including Christmas card making, tree decoration crafts, festive science experiments, log decorating, junk modelling workshops and special Christmas stories with Santa.
Alongside the weekly activities, families can also enjoy table tennis and table football, while children can tuck into a free drink and biscuit. Free hot drinks will also be available throughout December.
