Join our regular group of families for a free, fun, and interactive free roam stay and play session for your 1-5 year olds.
You can chat with other parents and carers, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and biscuits. Your little ones can play with toys, musical instruments and create artwork with other children their age.
This is a free-roam play session, you and your little ones can move freely through the room to explore the crafts, toys, and musical instruments in whichever order you would like.
We have a wonderful collection of heritage toys for your little ones to explore and play with, giving you a unique opportunity to reminisce over toys you may have played with as a child!
There will be a new craft activity every week! Let your little ones’ creativity flow freely with our stickers, pom-poms, tissue paper, sequins, and other craft supplies.
After the stay and play, you can visit the Museum for free, with fun trails for your little ones!
