    The Clamber Club is an extensive and exciting sensory motor programme that gets children moving, promoting fitness, health and learning. This year there will be a Clamber Club party obstacle course set-up at the Capital Craft Beer Festival Kiddies Entertainment area. This section will offer a safe place for 2 to 9-year-old kids to enjoy the outing. The obstacle course is unique and a team of entertainers are trained to keep your children active and happy as they tumble, roll, jump, climb and jog! Jog the Frog, our Clamber Club Fitness mascot, will also join in the fun and we will be offering face painting, colouring inn competitions and various age appropriate games.
