If you’re looking to keep the kids entertained between Christmas and New Year… we’ve got just the thing at Birchen Grove! Our free play session is the perfect way to keep little ones entertained while giving grown-ups a moment to unwind.
This fun, hands-on event invites children to explore some of our most popular toys, from colourful creative kits to imaginative play favourites. It’s a relaxed drop-in session designed to offer families something enjoyable and completely free during a time when many are feeling the post-Christmas pinch.
The Toy Play Session is on Monday 29th December, set up in the area beside Jane’s Garden Café.
What to expect at the Toy Play Session
Children can get stuck into a range of creative activities, including:
· Plus-Plus: Simple, colourful pieces that slot together to make endless 2D and 3D creations. Kids love how easy it is to build anything their imagination dreams up.
· SmartMax: Chunky magnetic rods and balls perfect for younger builders. Little ones enjoy the satisfying ‘click’ of the magnets and creating big structures with minimal effort.
· Connetix: Bright magnetic tiles for building towers, shapes and imaginative structures.
· Brio Trains: Classic wooden tracks and engines for building railways, with kids enjoying whizzing trains around the tracks.
It’s screen-free fun that encourages creativity, problem-solving, and free play. Meanwhile, adults can relax with a warm drink at Jane’s Garden Café, located just a few steps away.
A cosy Twixmas outing for the whole family
The days after Christmas can feel a little quiet, especially when the excitement of new toys fades. This session offers a simple, joyful way to get out of the house without spending a penny. Just turn up, get stuck in, and enjoy some relaxed family time in the heart of Birchen Grove.
Please note that children must be supervised at all times.
We look forward to welcoming you for a couple of hours of play!
