Event FAQs
A messy play session is a structured activity designed for children to explore and interact with various sensory materials such as sand, water, paint, and other textures in a safe environment. These sessions encourage creativity, motor skill development, and sensory exploration while providing a wonderful opportunity for parents and guardians to join in and share the fun.
We do ask that parents and guardians actively supervise their children during the session to ensure everyone's safety. Our staff are on hand to facilitate the activities and are first-aid trained, so you can feel confident that support is available if needed.
Together, we create a welcoming and enjoyable space where everyone can make memories and build stronger bonds through play.
