The Local Youth Network which is a part of the Chippenham Area Board are organising a Teen Takeover, a weekend dedicated to young people from the Chippenham Area aged 13-19 and up to 24 for those with SEND needs.
With over 20 organisations involved, there will be a wide variety of activities and workshops taking place across the town covering the arts, performance, meditation, music, sports and more. This event is being used to highlight what youth provision, activities and clubs are already available in the Chippenham area, as well as adding in additional activities to really make it a great weekend.
And the best bit….it’s all free! So if you fancy trying something new and maybe discovering a new interest/hobby, now is your chance!
The free Teen Takeover activities and workshops will be available to book via the Ticket Source website from 1pm on Monday 25th March, please see the link below:
