Parents will find it a welcome, creative outlet that builds fine motor skills, teamwork and imagination. This free library program runs during school terms on Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:30–4:30pm at Padstow Library and Knowledge Centre.
Expect an energetic group of school-aged children exploring design, construction and cooperative play with a variety of bricks and building materials. Sessions encourage creativity, problem solving and friendly collaboration in a supervised library setting.
The atmosphere is relaxed and playful, ideal for parents who want a safe, structured after-school activity that complements school learning. Kids can try new building techniques, work on small projects and learn to share tools and ideas.

Each session runs for one hour during school terms, giving children a consistent after-school routine that fits around homework and family time. The focus is on creative play, basic engineering concepts and social interaction.

The Brick Building Club takes place at Padstow Library and Knowledge Centre, located at 132 Cahors Road, Padstow. The library is a familiar community hub and easy to reach by car or public transport for local families.
On arrival, parents can sign in at the library desk and may wait in the library or return at the session end time. There is space for guardians to stay nearby if preferred, and clear directions are available from library staff.
Accessibility and parking details can be confirmed with the library ahead of time; this makes planning drop-off and pick-up straightforward for busy parents. Including the location in your plans helps make this after-school activity a simple part of the weekly routine.
Places are popular so parents are encouraged to book in advance by calling the library to secure a spot for their child. The sessions are supervised but parents remain responsible for arrival and collection at the scheduled times.
Children should wear comfortable clothing suitable for craft and play, and any personal items should be clearly labelled. If your child has allergies or special requirements, inform library staff before the session so they can assist.
