Family Events

We always work hard to offer events that families can take part in together. Some of our most exciting events so far include Movie Mondays, Family Forensics Fridays and our Christmas Grotto weekends.

Here you can find out about what we are focusing on with visiting families and learn about our upcoming events.

December 2025

It’s Christmas! This year has flown by so quickly, especially in the education team, where we have been #lockuplearning with 3,431 young people!

Friday 5th December is International Volunteer Day and so it’s the perfect time to say thank so much to our excellent education volunteer team who have done incredible work with 96 educational groups this year including learners from 3 to 33!

This month we are really excited about Santa coming to visit – this year he will be with us for grotto days, meeting families and handing out gifts. There will be hot chocolate, letters to the North Pole, Christmas crafts and a trail celebrating police staff, that includes a special secret prize too! There are a few slots left to see the big man, so book while you still can, using the link in the picture.

Just a quick reminder – we closed during most of January for some essential work to be done, but we look forward to seeing all of our Lock-up families when we reopen next year.
