Bradley Stoke has plenty of events to keep children and young people occupied this half term.
Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre’s October Holiday Programme (for children aged 4 upwards) runs from Monday 28th October to Friday 1st November and includes activities ranging from roller-skating to trampolining.
On Monday (28th October), between 2.30pm and 4pm, there’s a free ‘Bonkers Conkers’ craft session at Bradley Stoke Library, suitable for ages 3 to 11.
