 Upper Norwood Library Hub is bringing you six weeks of summer activity for children, teenagers and young adults at the library hub and beyond.
This summer we have opportunities to take part in sports, arts, blogging, journalism, theatre and other activities, as well as book reading and some week-long theatre and art programmes. Many of our activities are free or low cost as we want everyone to be able to take part. So, look through our programme, choose your activities and join us at Upper Norwood Library Hub this summer!
How to find us
Most of our activities are delivered at Upper Norwood Library Hub but check the session details to make sure before you travel as some activities are being run off site.
Accessibility
We are wheelchair accessible for most activities, however if you have any accessibility requirements please contact us at info@unlt.org or on 020 8670 4389 before booking your session to discuss and we will do our best to accommodate.
Booking
Booking is not essential but is recommended for most of our activities, particularly those that have limited space available. Bookings can be made in the library hub or via our website www.uppernorwoodlibraryhub.org
Cost
Most activities are free or very low cost. For free activities we welcome a small donation to the library hub where people feel able
to contribute one, this helps us continue to deliver more community activities and events. Where our sessions do have a cost it is because there are materials or staffing costs to running the event.You can book and pay online for these activities in advance or pay on the day, however be aware that we may be fully booked if you arrive on the day without advance booking.
Ages
All of our sessions indicate the ages they are suitable for and for most of our activities we ask parents not to stay for the session. If you or your child would like to attend something but are not in the recommended age range then please contact at info@unlt.org or on 020 8670 4389 to discuss and we will see if the activity is suitable.
Safeguarding
All of our activity facilitators have basic disclosure and for each session there will be two or more staff and volunteers present. A qualified first aider will be on site.
