2026-07-18 13:00 - 15:00 | Marble Hill Playcentres, Richmond Road, Twickeham, TW1 2NL, United Kingdom
The Adventure Playground at Marble Hill Playcentres is completely unique in this borough. With its huge wooden structures and large open spaces, they provide a special place for thousands of children each year. Children learn fantastic life lessons by testing their limits, discovering how things work and what they really enjoy to do. Adults are not permitted in the AP, giving the children freedom to make their own choices, and the opportunity to play and form new friendships with others outside of their usual peer group. They have a team of playworkers to supervise the children, facilitate play, and organise daily activities. If you have a child with additional needs who requires adult 1-1 support please complete the “All About Me” form (check link below) with your child, and call/message on 07522 182524 or email ap@marblehillplaycentres.com so they can help identify the right support for your child.
All children must be booked in prior to the session.
