Wed 10am-12pm & 1pm-3pm*

*Please note we run SEND Sessions on Wednesday Afternoons, 1pm-3pm. These are lower stimulation sessions for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) including neurodivergent children – and their families. These sessions are for families who feel this environment would be more suited to them, whether you have a diagnosis or not. If you are interested in these sessions, please find out more and book here.

Book one ticket per person, including adults & children. If you are unable to make it on the day, please cancel your tickets so that others may attend.
