About this event
Play. Build. Go Wild.
A drop-in, dive-in kind of Sunday, where families take over the Concourse and burn off every last bit of summer energy.
Arcade games for the button-bashers. A Lego station for the tiny architects. Board games for the thinkers, the gigglers and the quietly ruthless. All with a lively playlist keeping the room buzzing.
Come when you like. Stay as long as the kids allow. No booking. No timetable. Just easy, all-ages fun.
Build something brilliant. Challenge each other. Team up. It’s colourful, lively, slightly chaotic (in the best possible way) and absolutely made for families who don’t do quiet Sundays.
Need to know Venue: Concourse When: 10am – 3pm All welcome. This is a free event and no ticket is required.
