The Children’s Centre Out2Play scheme has a fun packed school holiday in store for youngsters this Easter. It all starts in Onchan on Monday April 11 from 10am to noon with more activities in locations across the Island planned for the rest of the holiday. As always, the sessions are run by The Children’s Centre Playworkers supported by volunteers and as well as offering a chance to play it is also a good opportunity to meet new friends. Sessions are open to children aged four to 11. Chris Gregory, Playwork Development Officer at The Children’s Centre, said: “Due to the phenomenal turnout over the February school holiday we’ve opted to go outside this holiday to help accommodate everyone. In terms of activities there’ll be den building, making rope swings and rope climbing courses as well as loads of new events. We’ve got a lot of fun and games planned - but one thing we can’t guarantee is good weather so we’re advising everyone to come armed with a waterproof coat just in case.” The full list of Out2Play session this half-term is as follows: Monday April 11 Onchan - Kick About Fields near Onchan Pleasure Park - 10am to noon; Bride - Millennium Field - 2pm to 4pm.
