What is on

Something Happening in the Playroom


Monthly performers for the little ones, plus hands-on classes for kids and grown-ups.

The performers

A show a few mornings a month

The cafe has hosted a regular rotation of children’s performers, each on their own morning of the month. They are short, loud in the best way, and pitched squarely at the under-fives.

The playroom closes for a short period before each show so the space can be set up.

How to find out what is running

Classes used to be booked through the cafe’s online scheduler. That scheduler is no longer active, so the way to find out what is on now is to ask.

Call the cafe, or follow the Facebook page, where the current line-up is posted.

The list alongside is what the cafe has run over the years rather than a current timetable. Some of it is seasonal, and some of it depends on who is teaching.
