We are still looking for books to fill our shelf on Platform 2 Huddersfield Station – why not have a pre-christmas clear out and donate?
Stuck for activities for the children to take part in at half term (w/c 23rd October 2017)? Nature’s Footprints are offering FREE forest school workshops at Huddersfield’s Beaumont Park.
