Avon Valley Community Matters

Come and get messy with us during the holidays!

Holiday Activities

Following on from last year’s success, last Summer 2024 we offered our FREE Picnics Together programme for families of all ages and abilities - all FREE as part of Avon Valley Community Matters outreach work to support families and their carers in Fordingbridge and its surrounding villages. In the past 2 years we entertained and fed more than 500 people!

We also organise FREE half term activities. During each session we organise crafts, games, stories, songs and also provide a hot meal and pudding. A great way to meet friends and make some new ones as well as keeping the kids occupied during the holidays. All ages welcome!

Last October half term we organised a Celebration of Light at St Mary’s Church (& Church Hall) in Fordingbridge and made candles, lanterns as well as new friends. Following on from this we organised another FREE Lantern Workshop from for the Lantern Procession on 29 November at the Fordingbridge Christmas Lights evening - an amazing spectacle - for the second year in a row:
