Giant games, arts and crafts and plenty of fun for all the family!

Ashford town centre has a jam packed August full of events to keep shoppers and their tribe's entertained.

From regular weekday craft activities for children to DJs and dog shows at the weekend, there is entertainment galore until the kids return to school.

Make and Take sessions take place twice a week

And with so many free events in the coming weeks, it is all ideally suited to keeping the kids busy on a budget.

Every Tuesday and Thursday between 11am and 4pm are Make and Take workshops in County Square Shopping Centre, where children and their families can join a themed craft session with activities ranging from mug decorating and superhero mask making to mural art.

Take your children along to the superhero mask workshop

While weekend fun includes outdoor theatre shows, dance performances and of course Ashford Dog Show on Saturday, August 18!
