Let’s Make at Darwen Market
A series of free half term events for families starting Monday 18th until Friday 22nd February, 10am – 2pm.
Half term is around the corner and for families looking for something fun and free to do there is a packed programme of activities planned at Darwen Market.
Blackburn with Darwen Council has partnered with the award winning Crafty Vintage to deliver Let’s MAKE, an exciting and engaging programme designed to get young people involved in Music, Arts, Kids crafts and be Entertained by a variety of hand selected tutors, artists and performers.
You will be able to grab a coffee and possibly even a sweet treat whilst you watch your little ones be creative, relax, learn, laugh, make friends and have fun. Once you have refuelled, you are welcome to join in too – family time is all about making memories together after all!
