Wiggles and Giggles

Thursday Mornings, 10:30am-11:30am

Come along for dance and sensory play with your under 5s!

We run a weekly class for you and your little ones to share joy through movement, music, props and play.

Expect singing and seated sensory play using props, instruments, everyday items and our imaginations, before we get up on our feet and move – stretching our minds and our bodies in a way that feels GREAT!

Each week is different, but we always promise a completely non-judgemental environment for you to play, bond and wiggle with your little ones in.

We follow the 40 minute session with a drink/snack and a chance to chat!

All are welcome. Suggested donation of £2 per session. 

Drama Club

Thursday Afternoons, 5:00pm-6:30pm

We run a free drama club every Thursday (during term time) for children and young people aged 7-13! Our drama club provides a relaxed environment for children to learn new ways to express themselves and build their confidence.

Our group is welcoming and fun, helping young people to feel happier and make friends.

The drama club works towards public performances (usually outdoors) where they can showcase what they have learnt. Sessions are led by our experienced drama leader, no previous experience is necessary, and no auditions are required!

We are able to offer these sessions for FREE but appreciate donations to help our future projects.
