Let's Play! October Half Term

Let's Play! October Half Term is at Coventry Cathedral on Thursday 29 October, a free session of autumn-themed games and crafts for families. It's aimed at families of all shapes and sizes, and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

The games and crafts are built around the autumn season, so it's a good way to keep the kids occupied during the half-term break. It's a drop-in sort of thing rather than a formal performance, so you can come along with your lot and let them get stuck into the activities. Since it's free, it's an easy one to add to the half-term plans without worrying about the cost.

It's worth remembering where this is happening. The New Cathedral was conceived from the start as a place for all people to gather, home to experimental art, drama and music rather than being simply a Church of England building. Its windows and artworks were created by a number of renowned artists: Einar Forseth's Swedish Windows line the nave, John Piper is in the Baptistery Window, John Hutton on the West Screen, Ralph Beyer's Tablets of the Word, Elisabeth Frink's lectern eagle, Graham Sutherland's Christ in Glory and Geoffrey Clarke's High Altar Cross. It's a space that's always been open to more than just the usual church services, so a family craft session fits right in.

So, if you're looking for something to do with the kids over the break, you'll find it at Coventry Cathedral on Priory Street, CV1 5AB, on Thursday 29 October. Entry is free for everyone.
