Beat the Freeze – Warm Space (Dec–Feb)
During winter, Stay and Chat becomes our Warm Space.
It offers a cosy environment where you can keep warm, enjoy hot drinks, and share uplifting conversations. This seasonal change ensures that, no matter the weather, you always have a place to feel at home.
Summer Stay & Play
During the summer months, we also welcome children with Stay & Play activities, including games, crafts, and refreshments. This means families can relax while little ones enjoy safe, fun activities.
