Fun with dads Friday evenings
Friday night family is a two hour session of free play for the whole family. There is a large bouncy castle, football, tennis, soft play and drawing. Plus lots of space to run off that excessive energy. It ends with a slice or two of pizza for all attending.
Please note, this session is for the whole family but the dad must be present the whole time the family is there. No dad, no entry.
