Unity Place is launching a summer programme of family-friendly activities this August, headlined by free photography workshops for children and teenagers and a free family film screening, alongside creative experiences, family offers and activities throughout the school holidays.
The summer programme is headlined by a series of free photography workshops delivered in partnership with Pixel Affiliate, and a free family film screening in the Urban Food Market. The photography workshops, taking place on 11, 18 and 25 August, have been designed to inspire the next generation of creatives.
Aimed at young people aged 8 to 17, the one-hour sessions will introduce beginners to the creative possibilities of photography through practical, hands-on activities in a relaxed and supportive setting. Separate workshops for ages 8–12 and 13–17 will ensure each session is tailored to the age group taking part.
Families can also enjoy a free screening of Hoppers on the big screen in the Urban Food Market on Monday 11 August from 11am. Open to all with no booking required, the screening is designed as an easy, family-friendly morning out, with plenty of space to settle in, and food and drink available for those wanting to stay on for lunch afterwards.
The summer activity programme is designed to give families flexible options across the holidays, whether they are looking for a free activity for a morning, something creative for older children, or a simple way to spend time together in the city centre.
Families visiting Unity Place during the holidays will also be able to make the most of a dedicated children’s menu in the Urban Food Market, available across the summer period. Children will be able to choose from pizza or other child-friendly options, while the adults can enjoy the full range of food available at the Urban Food Market, making Unity Place the perfect place to stop for lunch this summer.
Families can also enjoy drop-in terrarium building workshops with Tiny Terra on 4 and 20 August between 11.30am and 2.30pm on the Mezze in the Urban Food Market. With no booking required, children can create their own miniature terrarium from just £5.
ROK Barbers at Unity Place is also helping families get ready for the new school term by offering boys’ and girls’ haircuts for children under 13 throughout the summer holidays for just £15.
Maisie Stanford, Senior Marketing and Communications Executive at Unity Place, said: “We know the summer holidays can be a juggle for families, so we wanted to create a programme that offers a few easy, affordable ways to spend time together in Milton Keynes. From a free film screening to creative photography workshops, it’s all about giving families something enjoyable to dip into across the holidays, with food and drink on hand and a relaxed environment in the city centre.”
Located just a short walk from Milton Keynes Central station, Unity Place has built a regular programme of family-friendly activities during the school holidays, alongside its wider calendar of events, food and drink offers and community activity.
