SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER 2011! So get yourselves organised. We are lucky to have plenty of fabulous outdoor activities here in North Devon but if the weather is bad or you have youngsters who are just yearning for something creative to do in the holidays then they will certainly be spoilt for choice.
Here are our top tips for a creative summer holiday:
For the drama lovers:
The Plough Arts Centre in Great Torrington will be running several drama workshops for different age groups throughout the Summer holidays. These include; The Plough Cow – A Play in Two Days for 8-12 year olds, the Plough Play Story which is a drama starter workshop for 3-5 year olds and an exciting stage combat and Shakespeare workshop.

For the dancers:
North Devon Theatres’ Make the Move will be running dance classes at the Landmark Theatre in Ilfracombe.

Sculpting Light Films will be holding a series of film making workshops at Pilton Community College and Filleigh Village Hall over the summer months.
