Walk-ins and Bookings

We’re proud to be one of the only play cafés in the area that primarily operates on a walk-in basis, with no set session times. We believe this creates a more relaxed experience, giving families the freedom to visit whenever it suits them.

We also understand that some customers prefer to plan ahead, so we now offer three tables available for advance booking. The rest of the café will remain open for walk-ins.

If you’re ever unsure, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

(Please note: on busy days, sessions may be limited to 2 hours.)
