MEADS MUNCHKINS

Bring your little munchkins to play, create, sing and explore life through toys, instruments, craft and other activities. The group is known for it’s welcoming, relaxed atmosphere where parents and carers can come together, chat and have a tea or coffee, while the children have fun.

After an hour of free play, we have a story then a healthy snack and finish the morning off with some bubble infused joyful singing.  £1 donation per family (includes refreshments)
