FAMILIES across Birkenhead and beyond are invited to a fantastic FREE arts and crafts event on:- Saturday, 21 November 2026, with character visits, creative workshops, fun activities, cake and drinks, and the opportunity to have their say on the future of the town!

Birkenhead-based community interest company Wish & Wonder CIC is hosting the exciting family event at Wish Upon A Party on Argyle Street, Birkenhead, from:- 10am until 3pm, promising a fun-filled day for families of all ages. The event forms part of Pride in Place, an initiative that will see a huge funding boost for Birkenhead, with local people being encouraged to share their ideas about how the town can be improved and what the investment should be spent on.

Wish & Wonder CIC has organised a fantastic selection of activities designed to bring families together, encourage creativity and promote positive mental health. There will be special character visits, giving youngsters the chance to meet some exciting characters and enjoy a little extra magic throughout the day.

Creative families can also get involved in The Art Of Socialising craft sessions with Lucy, offering the perfect opportunity for children and parents to get creative, try something new and enjoy making things together. Meanwhile, Positivity Club With Jess will be delivering positive mental health games, helping children and families explore wellbeing, confidence and positivity through fun, interactive activities.

And to make the day even sweeter, there will be FREE drinks and cake for those attending! With no admission charge and a welcoming atmosphere, the event promises to be a brilliant opportunity for local families to enjoy quality time together without worrying about the cost.

But this special event is about much more than arts, crafts and family fun. As part of the Pride in Place initiative, families attending will also have the chance to share their wants, needs and hopes for Birkenhead’s future. With significant funding set to benefit the area, the event offers local residents an important opportunity to make their voices heard and help influence priorities for investment.

Organiser Ruth Rundle said:- “When looking at the future of Birkenhead, families are so important. Whether it’s better facilities for children and young people, improved community spaces, more family activities or other changes that could make Birkenhead a better place to live, we want to hear what matters most to local people. It’s an opportunity for parents, children and the wider community to come together, celebrate their town and contribute ideas that could help shape its future.”

At a time when many families are looking for affordable ways to entertain their children, this event offers something truly special:- a completely free day out that combines creativity, fun, wellbeing and community spirit. From meeting characters and enjoying craft sessions to playing positivity games and sharing ideas for a better Birkenhead, there will be plenty to get involved in.

Most importantly, it’s a chance for local families to feel part of something bigger and have a voice in the future of the place they call home. So gather the family, head down to Wish Upon A Party on:- Saturday, 21 November 2026 and enjoy a fantastic FREE day out while helping to shape a brighter future for Birkenhead!
