Open now: Brand new Mud Kitchen
Kids love getting dirty – it’s in their nature! And what better place for them to do it than in the great outdoors.
This summer, we've opened a brand-new corner of the family favourite Children's & Community Garden, as we've expanded the Mud Kitchen for even more messy play! Following a re-design, we've added new play spaces and shady spots, as well as sensory corners and learning zones for workshops and school groups.
Complete with pots, pans, teapots and cookie cutters, our mud kitchen is the perfect spot to encourage children to get creative.
