All our holiday activities are run by qualified and experienced coaches that are DBS checked to an enhanced level and are fully aware of safety and child protection laws.
There’s loads to choose from, so have a good flick through to get planning your next exciting half term and join us for what will be Go4It and Link4Life’s most exciting 6 months yet!Ê
The Natural History Museum’s most famous dinosaur, Dippy the Diplodocus has left the museum to go on tour of the UK, and Rochdale is his only North West stop. Celebrate Dippy’s arrival and join us for an exciting range of dinosaur themed activities.
In the middle of this booklet you will find our Jurassic Journey. Receive a stamp in your booklet every time you complete an activity and collect them all to win a fantastic prize.
From Monday 1 June 2020, send a picture of your completed booklet to Aimee Gilder [email protected] to receive your prize. To win, you just have to get at least 1 sticker from every venue over the course of the 6 months.
Also on your Jurassic Journey, why don’t you see how many dinosaur feet you can walk?Ê You can easily walk from Heywood Civic Centre to Heywood Sports Village or Rochdale Leisure Centre to Touchstones Rochdale. You can get loads of dinosaur footsteps walking from Littleborough Sports Centre to Hollingworth Lake Water Activity Centre. Get your grown up to tell you how many miles you have walked and they will tell you how many real life dinosaur feet that is!Ê Don’t forget to make a note of it on your map.Ê
As you walk our Jurassic Journey why don’t you have a good look around at all the local wildlife and nature that surrounds you? You may even spot an animal or two! You never know what you’re going to find, and some of the bugs and birds you see might have even been around when the dinosaurs were alive!
