At Alpine we try to be multi-dimensional with our activities, and each school holidays our busy activities staff organise events where residents can invite their grand kids in to enjoy together.

In the past this has included indoor pool days, clowns, entertainers, film sessions (with popcorn!) and family fun... including a bouncy castle and candy floss!

We look forward to seeing lots of grand children coming in and out of the village during the holidays over the next couple of weeks!
