A firm favourite for families, our fun-filled days become fully booked very quickly. In 2024, we welcomed over 550 children to our Fun Days and we’d love to welcome even more in 2025. A donation of just £1.49 will pay for a child's craft bag, £4.50 will cover the costs of a family of three children plus a parent or carer. Just £90 would pay for a whole session of 60 children. When you book your child’s session, please consider making a gift of any size to help us achieve our goal.
Come and Join Us. Everyone is Welcome and the Activities are Free. Parking is Free.
