Holme Head House

Holme Head House Holme head house is primarily a space for your creative imaginations to run riot!

An Atelier is often described as the studio, workshop or laboratory, and is a characteristic feature of a Reggio school. A huge part of the Atelier will include being innovative with the use of reclaimed materials, found media and items many people would usually consider junk. The use of such objects will help the children show a greater respect for the world around them and the need for a more sustainable environment. Forest schools and nature walks by the river and surrounding countryside will be a regular feature, helping children appreciate their natural environment. Their collected treasures can then be used creatively within the Atelier, in order to further enhance their learning experience. Children's group cookery classes will also take place in the Atelier in which children will cook and eat their own culinary masterpieces. As well as all of this Holme Head House has a wonderful function room for hire, for all your meeting and conference needs.

Promoting our close friends new venture in Rockcliffe

✨🏡♥️WELCOME TO CURIOSITY COTTAGE… the door is about to open on something special.

More than just a cottage… a little place with a lot of heart.

Inspired by days gone by nostalgic childhood, family traditions and the simple joys of slowing down, Curiosity Cottage is a place for families to play, create, explore and make memories together. ✨

From open-ended play, creative crafts and home education to seasonal family events, messy play and nostalgic experiences — there’s something for everyone.

A heartfelt thank you to Emmy and Rodger from Holme Head House for believing in my dream and vision and encouraging me to follow it. They’ve supported my children over the years and I can’t thank them enough 🤎

We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you into the cottage, where old memories inspire new ones and moments become memories that last a lifetime.

✨ Follow our Facebook or Instagram page for updates, new events and special announcements.

🎃Hello all you wizards, witches and spooky monsters 👻

Due to popular we are putting on scary but yummy Halloween burgers 🍔 in tomorrows session! These will be assembled by the children on the 10-12noon session 😋 for the super price of £4 per burger.

If people on the Friday list can book their burger on arrival that would be fab, means that our little prep goblins in the basement can make sure we have enough of the good stuff 🤭 If the children would like to dress up for Halloween we would LOVE THAT! but absolute zero pressure to little ones or parents.

Disclaimer- there are sadly no more places are available for the session tomorrow 🧡

Thank you again and we very much look forward to topping off a FABULOUS week with you all 🧡

Spooky scary love as always Emmy and Rog 🧙🏼‍♂️🧙🏼🎃🧡🧡

An update on the future of Holme Head 🏡

As some of you may have seen, our beautiful Holme Head House is up for sale – but don’t panic, things are still continuing as normal.

We’re still running our two toddler sessions on Wednesday’s and Friday’s from 10am – 12pm and parties throughout the weekend.

All school trips are going ahead as normal and we’re taking booking for the autumn term.

We’re still here to enjoy all our time with our regulars and new faces but it’s our time to retire and we hope the building’s new owners (whoever they might be) will show it as much love as we all do.

Love Emmy and Rog ❤️
