Keep the family entertained this October school holiday with a trip to the Torphins Market!
Since the Aberdeenshire school autumn break is in full swing, this Wednesday 21st October is the absolute perfect time to gather the kids, escape the house, and head over to the forecourt at Platform 22 from 10am to 2pm.
Here is how you can turn your market run into a perfect holiday outing:
🎃 Fun for the Little Ones: Once you have shopped for fresh essentials, the kids can join the local festive fun. Pick up an entry form at Platform 22, or Torphins Pharmacy to participate in the ongoing Torphins Playgroup Pre-school Halloween Trail running throughout the holidays.
🛝 Torphins Play Park: Burn off some extra energy at the park. It features a wonderful green space perfect for football, a basketball net, a skateboard ramp, climbing frames, an assault course, swings, and slides.
