ABOUT US
Our Adventure Playground offers over an acre of safe, staffed space where children & young people can come to play, build confidence, make new friends, develop skills & try new things.
We are open to children and young people of every background between the ages of 0 – 21.
Accompanied children under 5 have Stay and Play activities in their own building with a mud kitchen, sand pit and enclosed open space.
6 – 16-year-olds benefit from exploring the Adventure Playground and use of the Hut after school, on Saturdays and during the School holidays.
Young adults 17 + volunteer to gain work experience, participate in accredited training and receive mentoring and support.
We believe that children
- Thrive with positive social interactions
- Develop responsibility through risk in the adventure play ground
- Develop strong social skills and positive connections when playing freely with others in their community
- Need space to take responsibility, explore and challenge themselves.
Older Adults may volunteer, or join a Pilates class on Tuesday afternoon or Thursday evening. Check our What’s on.
We also offer event hire of the facilities, especially on Sundays.
We are a registered charity and rely 100% on volunteers and donations to stay open.

No Bonfire Night for 2023
Sorry, No bonfire this year. We understand that many schools' half terms differ this year. Logistics for arranging our special night have therefore proved difficult for many reasons, not least the last Saturday of half term for some is the 4 Nov, meaning...
