Hi Leanne, there is still time to book in to the Heeley Festival (23rd June) if you can make it.

Starting this week, Heeley Development Trust are working in partnership with Sheffield Wildlife Trust to run a series of environmental activity sessions in Heeley Millennium Park. The sessions will be for children aged 8-13 and will be an opportunity for them to get up close to nature and to get their hands dirty! There will be all sorts of fun stuff – bug hunting, willow weaving, kite making and leaf printing to name just a few. So if you’re a parent with children aged between 8 to 13 and think that they would enjoy getting involved, please tell them to come down and join in! (Note: younger children are welcome to come down but we ask that parents/carers come too). These sessions will be on the following dates and times, we will meet by the Millennium Park playground and will be FREE of charge: Wednesday June 13th 3.30pm to 5.30pm Wednesday June 20th 3.30pm – 5.30pm Wednesday June 27th 3.30pm – 5.30pm Dont worry if they cant attend all of the sessions, they can just drop in on the ones that they can make.
