Things To Do In The School Holidays In Farnham Guildford Surrey

2024

The last term seem to be just over and now the next school holidays are nearly upon us. If you are wondering how to keep your children busy in the school holidays or things to do in the school holidays in Farnham, Surrey read on for loads of activities in the Farnham, Guildford, and Surrey areas.

Working as a Family Photographer in Farnham, Guildford & Surrey I am lucky to be able to take school holidays off. I am always looking for new things to do with Rosie who is 11. Mia our eldest at 19, now has a social life of her own and the time does go really fast from when she was Rosie’s age. So before I start crying and missing Mia being small here is a lovely list of fun things for the the school holidays:

(The links to more info for each item are in the headings so give them a click)

  • For over 4 year olds the air bag with twist ladder and battle beam, extreme slides, giant inflatable with super-fast slides and interactive games and back by popular demand… the Wipeout

I hope this helps you discover some new things to do with your little ones over the schoolv holidays and keep them busy.

Not sure what hypnobirthing is all about?

Right, let me say one thing right off the bat… Hypnobirthing needs a name change because let’s face it, it’s pretty rubbish and it doesn’t really define what courses like this are about these days, well… most of them anyway!
Hypnobirthing has been around for a LONG time and it’s definitely not the fad that it’s made out to be. Nor is it all about crystals and chanting! Since it’s inception many years ago, it has evolved into something pretty awesome.
