Saturday 8 August 2026, 11:00am - 3:00pm

Join us for an epic day of interactive fun!

Play! is aimed at under-5s, but there’ll be plenty for the whole family to enjoy.

We’ll be joined by The Herd Theatre, who’ll be bringing their special brand of zany fun. It’s your chance to make some music on the wild and wonderful Orchestra of Objects, explore a fantastic range of sensory toys, and enjoy even more exciting activities throughout the day.

Keep an eye on our social media channels for further announcements and surprises.

Free to attend – no booking required.
