Running a children’s activity group is an exciting and rewarding experience, but finding the perfect venue—one that’s affordable, accessible, and well-suited to your needs—can be a real challenge. Whether you’re hosting baby and toddler groups, creative workshops, sports clubs, or after-school programs, you need a space that works for both you and your attendees.

✔ Accessibility – Is the venue easy to access for prams and wheelchairs? 

✔ Location – Is it well-located for your audience, with good transport links and parking?
