Things to do for older kids ?

[debbie251]

Hi all :)
I am moving to Burford this weekend and have 2 DDs aged 7 and nearly 9 and was wondering whats about locally for them to do??
I have noticed most of the posts on here ask the same thing but for smaller kids, the thought of sitting in a park is 'boring' for my 9 yr old lol !!!

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated thanks x

Is Cotswold Wildlife Park too young for them? It's expensive for a one-off, but if you get a season ticket it's pretty good.

Burford brownies are an active group.

Are they musical? - cotswold children's choir is based in Burford.

Are they sporty? - lots of the kids (including the girls) round us play football or cricket - or swimming in Witney or Chipping Norton.

There are drama clubs at the theatre in Chipping Norton and they have workshops in the holidays.

We live fairly close to Burford and my dd doesn't have time to be bored!

thanks brownies sounds good !! as a full time working single mum, any evening clubs are a great idea lol ! not sure about the choir not that musical !

wildlife park is a yes just for me ha ha !

We are moving from the Birmingham area and the thought of country life is bothering my dd1

hi notthatfaraway,

dont suppose you have any contact details for the Brownies as dont seem to be able to find them on the net

Kids sound really pleased with that idea lol
