Freshney’s Summer Sticker Quest Brings the School Holidays to Life
Sandpit and Weekly Family Events available for all
Freshney Place is preparing to entertain families this summer by holding an exciting new programme of activities. The Freshney Summer Sticker Quest event will offer a variety of FREE entertainment for children, to help families make the most of the school summer holidays.
Kicking off on Saturday 26th July, families are invited to dig into the fun as a sandpit opens in the centre. Open daily from 11am–3pm*, the sandpit is the perfect place for little ones to enjoy seaside-style play — in a safe, covered environment. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Starting from Saturday 2nd August, Freshney Place will be hosting a different themed activity every Saturday to entertain the kids.
As part of the summer programme, children can also take part in the Sticker Quest Trail – collecting a sticker each week to add to their very own Summer Fun adventure book. Once they collect all five stickers completing their adventure book, they’ll receive a FREE summer themed gift and be entered into our prize draw to win their very own sandpit — perfect for creating sandy adventures at home!
So come join the fun! Here’s what’s coming up this summer:
Saturday 2nd August – Jungle Jaunt
Meet friendly creatures up close at our animal encounter experience, then let the little ones burn off some energy in our special soft play installation — perfect for little ones aged 2-7 and packed with fun.
