SEND families are welcome at all of our sessions. We are also running this SEND session for those families who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. SEND sessions must be pre-booked to manage numbers. It is still a free activity.

There is a drop-in version of this event open to all on the same day Thursday 28 May, 11am to 3pm.
