February half term is upon us, so please see some ideas for activities that may be of interest to you now and in future weeks.
Young Artists Summer Show
Now in its fifth year, the Young Artists Summer Show is a free, open submission exhibition for students aged 4–19 studying in the UK. Artworks are judged by a panel of artists and arts professionals, with selected artworks displayed online and on-site at the Royal Academy of Arts.
We have seen some lovely pieces of work around the school and believe it would be a wonderful experience for children to take part in. We have registered the school and our Art Club will also be entering some pieces of artwork.
Reduced Price London Zoo Tickets
London Zoo want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy a brilliant day out and to benefit from the amazing animals which live at London Zoo, connect with nature and help to create a world where wildlife thrives. To help people who might find cost or other challenges a barrier to visiting London Zoo, our Community Access Scheme (CAS) provides discounted tickets.
Tickets from as little as £3 per person
As part of our Community Access Scheme, you can now buy reduced price tickets for London Zoo at our entry kiosks from as little as £3 per person, if you are receiving Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support or Jobseeker’s Allowance.
The £3 tickets are available for the whole family (under 3’s go free), only at the zoo entrance (not online) from 11am every day of the week, and the current offer runs until the end of March 2023.
You’ll need to bring your proof of benefit letter with you to the zoo when you buy your tickets(s) from our friendly staff at the admissions gate (this can be an electronic copy if you prefer).
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to issue discounted tickets unless you are able to show one of the above documents (per household) as proof of eligibility.
Important notes:
- These tickets are available 7 days a week to buy from 11am onwards
- Tickets can only be purchased from our admissions kiosks at the time of your visit – they are not available online or in advance.
- Regular admissions tickets, including those for anyone coming along with you, must still be booked online and in advance.
- We’re operating a cashless system on our sites and we ask that you pay with credit or debit cards, or contactless payment methods only.
- Due to the popularity of this scheme, there may be queues at 11am and on busy weekends, so we suggest arriving later or visiting weekdays to minimise waiting times at our ticket booths.
