Children Activities
Thanks to a grant from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, these activities for 6 - 14 years are affordable and well staffed. Get in touch with Vanessa Clarke, our Youth Coordinator who would love to hear from you so that we can make these sessions as user led as possible. Contact Vanessa via her email

Our popular horse-riding session is back.
You must book for the whole term as you will be weighed and measured and allocated a horse at the first session, they cannot weigh people after the first session, so if you are looking to book after 29/04/25, please email
ILEAP has teamed up with the Riding for Disabled HQ at Lowlands for an after-school club to build your confidence around our equine friends whilst learning to ride.
The group of 6 is split into two smaller groups, each taking turns to ride in the manage. Beginners will be on guide ropes and each horse has a volunteer to support the participants. As they gain experience and confidence, participants will learn the techniques of steering, trotting and cantering.
Research has suggested that spending time with animals in an outdoor environment is beneficial to mental health and wellbeing.
Please wear long trousers and long -sleeved jackets. The riding school can provide hats and boots for you to wear, although you are welcome to bring your own.

Purposeful day time activities at our fantastic venue.
