Events during the summer holidays 2022
As the school summer holidays begin, we wanted to provide information on a few events taking place around Gatley and Whalley Range, which our Honeybear families may like to attend:
Gatley Festival – 3rd July 12pm-5pm: There will be lots of entertainment and stalls – and come find the Honeybear team who will be providing baby-changing facilities as well as colouring-in for little ‘uns!
A Fairytale Summer at Dunham Massey – 23rd July until early September
There will be lots of events taking place at Dunham Massey, inspired by fairytales. From stringed-musical happenings on the lawn, to cosy literature-laden children’s stories in the Orangery, daily activities and events add that little bit of fairy dust to the proceedings. There is also a one-off performance of Cinderella in the Dunham Massey Gardens on Saturday 13th August.
