School Holidays

So the school holidays are here and if you’re anything like the mums at LittleBird we expect you are thinking about what to do with the kids over the summer to keep them busy whilst not breaking the bank. To make life easier we have found the best free family activities across London which are taking place between now and September, including arts and crafts, farm visits and much more.   Below is what is happening over the next few days.  Stay tuned for more great things to do as we will be updating this list frequently with more great ideas.

28th July – The Horniman Museum in Forest Hill are running free arts and crafts sessions every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday throughout the school holidays.
