The centre:mk shopping destination in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, is hosting a free themed Kids Club for families on February 28, 2026. This session celebrates the “Year of the Fire Horse,” offering local children a chance to take part in seasonal crafts and cultural activities just after the February half-term break.
The event is aimed at children aged between three and ten and features hands-on workshops where they can make items such as traditional lanterns and horse masks. According to MyMK, the theme is based on a specific part of the Lunar New Year calendar that only occurs once every 60 years.
Activities are usually held as drop-in sessions in the event space outside Marks and Spencer or within Middleton Hall. Centre Director Kevin Duffy said these monthly clubs are an essential part of the effort to keep the centre relevant to customers, while community partners have noted the sessions help foster a welcoming space to make memories.
The programme is also part of a broader effort by the Milton Keynes City Council to provide free cultural experiences to every child in the area. This initiative supports the city’s “Culture Kids MK” program and its ongoing work to become the UK City of Culture in 2029.
