Craggy2 half-term Junior and Mini Fun Sessions!

May 23rd, 2011 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Craggy Island News, Sutton News

Stuck for something to do with the kids this half-term? Then why not book them onto one of our Junior Fun or Mini Fun sessions here at Craggy2 in Sutton?

It’s an hour of instructed Caving and Climbing fun for only £15.00 per person. We’ll kit them up, give them a full safety brief and then take them off your hands whilst you relax for an hour. They’ll have a chance to go caving in our indoor caving system and have a go at Bouldering on our fantastic range of climbing problems. What could be better?

We’ve recently changed our policy on under 8yr olds, and now cater for children as young as 5! Children aged between 5-7 can now take part in activities here at Craggy2, when booked onto our Mini Fun Sessions. To make things easier for you parents, these Mini Fun Sessions take place at 12.30, meaning you can book your wee ones onto a Mini Fun Session, whilst your older ones can be booked onto the Junior Fun Session at the same time! (Junior Fun Sessions suitable for children aged 8-14.)

We have a limited number of spaces available on our sessions which run every weekday of the holiday (Monday 30th May – Friday 3nd June) at 11:00, 12.30 and 14:00, (11.00 and 14.00 Junior Fun Sessions only). Call our delightful reception team on 0844 880 8866 now to book!
