During the Summer I am leading sessions at the Nesta Yurt Camping site near Frome. Children can craft and play in a safe space not far from the resturant, Hot Tubs and Yurt camping.
Do parents stay with their children?
This depends on the child and how comfortable they are being left in an unfamiliar environment. Parents are requested to stay on site. You can enjoy a drink or a meal in the nearby resturant.

Hearty Crafty sessions cost £10 per hour per child.
Can siblings come?
Younger siblings are welcome accompanied by a parent or guardian. There are toys, crayons and paper available. Older siblings are welcome if they are interested in crafting. The cost is £10 per hour per child.
What ages can come?
