Families in Hertford can look forward to an exciting summer of fun as our holiday camp returns to Bengeo Primary School from 27th July - 28th August.
Open to children aged 3-11, our Summer Camp is packed with exciting activities to keep children active, creative and entertained throughout the school holidays. Whether they're trying something new, building confidence or making new friends, there's something for everyone.
Children can enjoy action-packed Multi Sports sessions filled with games, challenges and team activities, or express their creativity through Performing Arts & Crafts, where they'll develop confidence through drama, music, movement and imaginative projects.
Our popular Mini Camp also returns for 3-4 year-olds in their pre-school year. With smaller group sizes and age-appropriate activities, it's the perfect introduction to holiday camps, offering plenty of opportunities to play, explore and learn in a safe, nurturing environment.
Mums' Guide to Hertford readers can also enjoy an exclusive 20% discount for new customers using the code HERTMUMSGUIDE20 when booking. Click here to book.
With a welcoming atmosphere, experienced staff and a fantastic mix of activities, Summer Camp at Bengeo Primary School is the perfect place for children to make unforgettable memories this summer.

More and More pumpkin picking events are being added to our webpage daily. A full whats on for October Half Term guide will follow but as many of the popular pumpkin picking attractions in Hertfordshire do book quickly we thought we'd put this together sooner rather than later.
Some of these are Halloween days out which include Pumpkin Picking as part of the entrance fee (Like willows and Foxholes) some like Church Farm and Aldenham country park are optional add ons to your day (which must be booked and paid for in additon to entry) and some are just PYO Pumpkin attractions.
