Activities include arts and crafts, face-painting, storytelling, music and more!

All children, young people and their families are welcome to join the fun in the Imagination Station at any time. However, we will have a SEND friendly session every morning between 10:15am - 10:45am as we understand that loud and busy spaces can be overwhelming for some children with additional needs. During these sessions we'll be keeping the lights up, the music low and limiting numbers to ensure a calm, gentle experience.
