Sycamore Adventure Play is open for fun this summer holiday.
Each week is themed with special sessions for SEND youngsters as well as open family sessions.
Although restrictions have been lifted, children and families are asked to take a common sense approach in relation to social distancing and handwashing. Masks do not need to be worn, but people can wear them if it makes them feel more comfortable.
Entry is free but there is a suggested donation of £4 per child to help towards running costs. The café will also be open. People don’t need to book but if they haven’t been before they need to register at the sycamore website via the yellow button in top right corner.
The site features amazing outdoor and indoor adventure playgrounds offering a wide range of play structures, play equipment, a sensory room and café.
