It seems like it was only just the Easter holidays and the next one is nearly upon us! School holidays can be expensive times keeping the children entertained, so I have put together my usual half term holiday blog of free local events and activities that will hopefully help you out this May. Nature trail and quiz - Blandford 30th May 2025 Make your own trolley token - Castlepoint - 30th May 2025 I am really looking forward to this one! TURN YOUR WASTE INTO SOMETHING GREAT! Friday 30th May, 11am–1pm | Upstairs outside M&S at Castlepoint Join in for a hands-on, eco-friendly workshop with Brothers Make – the inspiring Bournemouth duo turning plastic waste into something useful! There’s two ways to get involved; 1. Make & Take Bring in 3 plastic tops (from bottles, detergent, milk, etc.), take part in a quick live recycling demo and walk away with your very own trolley token made from plastic tops. 2. Share & Swap Collect 3 plastic tops (like the above) and swap them for a branded trolley token made from plastic waste collected right here at the centre! Every top counts – let’s give plastic a second life The Parks Foundation FREE May eventsAs usual the parks foundation have their jam packed monthly schedule of events, some of which take place during half term week.
