Summer Family Activities: Play Stations
Join in to take over the space, it’s yours!
Our immersive space, created with Southwold Primary School pupils, forms the perfect backdrop for this summer’s creative activities.
Explore and share how play connects us, take over the space with gentle gestures of protest. What happens next? You decide.
Bring in your old games for our Swap Shop, to share with others.
There will be lots of materials to use for making, space to play, and time to rest.
