New Year’s Stars

The Higgins Bedford

New Year’s Stars looks at Epiphany stars as a starting point before creating special stars of your own to celebrate the new year, new beginnings, thoughts and focus. Children will also get to choose from a collection of hidden words, all meaningful and special, to keep with their star as something to reflect on throughout 2025. 

Tickets £5.50

Suitable for children of primary school age.  Younger children are welcome but will need significant support from their parents. Parents do not need to book a place. Please use promotional code HIGGINS30 to avoid paying a transaction fee when booking a place.
