A summary
The Yard is a space where we start conversations that bring people together to: Listen, learn, play and laugh, Grow, cook and eat, Create, make and work. We will be open over the summer holidays, and we will be gaming, cooking and crafting together, sharing stories, reading and podcasting together. Young people can take part in playing board games, DnD, Xbox, switch, VR’s, PC’s and our arcade machine. We get our imagination working, learning how to make or do new and exciting crafts. We provide all of the materials needed to create something fabulous. Learn basic cooking skills, follow recipes, and prepare simple dishes or snacks. Then eat what you prepare! We explore all aspects of story telling, we have fun with reading different books, talking about them, and sharing new reading ideas. Developing skills as orators and investigators. Creating mini zines, podcasts and building our own stories.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
