This October, we’re not just back – we’re bigger than ever! And we’re oh-so autumn ready and excited about our half term Holiday Club!
Holiday Club returns to Greenbank Preparatory School and launches at our brand new venue: Cheadle Catholic Infant School in Cheadle Hulme. This year’s bumper crop of activities is bursting with games, crafts and adventures to make Octoberfest our most action-packed half term yet.
With autumn’s arrival and Halloween on the horizon, there's plenty of treats and a few tricks up our sleeves, for kids of all ages.
Autumn is a special time of year to be outdoors. A chance to connect with nature and thoroughly enjoy being outside whatever the weather. With warmer outfits on (or even waterproofs and wellies), autumn becomes a treasure trove of coloured leaves, conkers and pinecones! The grounds and wildlife areas available at all these local schools are a gold mine of autumn exploration - just perfect for us nature nuts. Our outside fun won’t stop there though. With access to playing fields, astro pitches, sports courts, running tracks and even an outdoor theatre, the truth is being outside never looked so good!
Yet, if the weather has other ideas, we will benefit from plenty of indoor space and we’ll still be tiring them out with plenty of physical challenges alongside the crafting and chill out zones – the perfect half term holiday!
OCTOBERFEST of course includes all our Halloween themed activities! All designed to add a little spooky fun into the mix, we are sure to thrill your little monsters (ahem), munchkins this October half term. Don’t worry, our Halloween fun isn’t filled with fright, just lots of fun. It’ll charm the socks off everyone from toddler to teen. Want to know what to expect? Here’s our eerie-sistable line up.
OCTOBERFEST Will Be Going Practically Wild
We’re bringing all the magic of an autumn camp vibe – cosy outdoor circle time, shared stories, and a sprinkle of seasonal adventure. Picture sipping hot chocolate and enjoying marshmallows as we swap (friendly) spooky tales. Add in our all-time favourite sweetie hunts, mud pie making, bug hunting, den building, tree climbing and leaf jumping and you’ve got the perfect recipe for Octoberfest fun. We can’t wait to wrap up warm and enjoy it!
It’s the Season for Lots of Hands-on-Creepy-Craft Fun!
We’re looking forward to spreading our crafty wings out and indulging our inner artist with dedicated spaces for all types of brilliant crafty creations!
We’ve added a little Halloween-y twist on crafts that the kids are sure to get a cackle out of! Whether they choose to make their crafts scary, adorable, or just plain silly, we’ve got a fa-boo-lous line-up of ideas to keep little (and big hands) busy this October.
We’ll be collecting leaves to make painted vampire bats, making ghost garlands, DIY spiders webs, monstrous masks and other creepy crafts that can double as décor to bring home! We’ll be tracing, stencilling, painting, and crafting galore. Of course, we’ll be adding pumpkin carving and painting to our crafty line up too! Guaranteed to get everyone into the spirit of the season.
Mysterious and Spooky, Altogether Ooky and a Little Bit Gloopy - Messy Fun!
That’s right we’ll be plunging our hands into all the ooey gooey stuff that gets everyone grinning from ear-to-ear. It’s scarily good messy fun with that all important yuck factor!
Glitter glow in the dark slime, ectoplasm, fluffy foam, or scented slime, we’ve got the most delightfully disgusting gunk and gunge to keep everyone happy - erm eye-ball slime anyone?
With fizzing potions and gunk galore, this is sensory science-y fun that you’ll be glad not to do at home! Leave the mess (and the eurghs) to us!
Hallowscream if You Want to party!
OCTOBERFEST Halloween party is on Friday 31st October.
There’s no better way to celebrate this Halloween with our spooky-not-scary Halloween bash!
It’s a frightfully fun way to get into the party spirit. Dig out your fake fangs or grab your witch’s broomstick and dress up in your best scary or silly Halloween costume! If you’ve got it, HAUNT it!
Our devilish disco might see you ghost-busting some moves or showing your best spooky street dance. We’ve spooktacular games, ghoulish glitter and so much mwa ha haaaaaaa in store! We’re super excited to get our hands on the indoor stages and Grant is raring to get on the decks, it’s just perfect for all our phantom inspired fun!
What better way to celebrate this spooky season. It’s going to be a Hallow-scream!
Okay we admit it, OCTOBERFEST is the scarily easy way to guarantee your kids have a blast this half-term. If our holiday club line up sounds spellbindingly good and you’d like your child to join in the action BOOK NOW!
Pst. From February 2026, we'll also be welcoming a third holiday club at Ladybrook Primary School in Bramhall.
