Each day throughout the half-term break (17th – 25th February), atria Watford will host a different themed FREE activity focused on kindness, offering families and children the chance to engage in creative, meaningful experiences while taking home keepsakes. Activities include:

• Monday 17th February - Kindness Krackers – Children can fill their crackers with kindness notes and a treat to gift to someone to brighten up their day.

• Tuesday 18th February - Positive Plaques – Children can craft empowering messages on wooden plaques and decorate them with vibrant colours and embellishments to take home.

• Wednesday 19th February - Cupcake Workshop – Kids can make a sweet treat to take home while also gifting one to a friend.

• Thursday 20th February – Crafty Ceramic Fun – Decorate a piggy bank as a reminder to save and pledge a donation to a charity of choice.

• Friday 21st February - A Jar of Kindness – Decorate and fill a recycled jar with kind notes for loved ones or little reminders to yourself.

In addition, each child can create special postcards with uplifting messages to be shared with residents of care homes in Watford. There will also be a multi-coloured ribbon backdrop where children can post ways to be kind which will be in the centre all week as a friendly reminder to all!

With an exciting mix of family-friendly activities, top brands and delicious dining options, atria Watford is the ultimate half-term destination. Families can explore top retailers such as MINISO, The Entertainer, and Smiggle, enjoy a meal at TGI Fridays, Pizza Express or Las Iguanas, and experience fun-filled entertainment at Flip Out, Rock Up, Escape Hunt, Puttshack, Boom Battle Bar, Hollywood Bowl and Cineworld!

Niamh Crowley, Marketing Manager at atria Watford, commented: “We are delighted to bring the community together in such a positive and meaningful way.
