How it works
We’ll always meet at Elephant and Castle, right in front of the swimming pool (and if it’s raining, we’ll wait just inside the entrance to keep dry). From there, we’ll head off together for our next adventure — whether it’s bowling, painting, DJing or just hanging out in the park. At the end of each session, we’ll return to Elephant and Castle. ⏰ Most sessions are at the same time, but a few have different times or days – so keep an eye on the schedule and set a reminder! What to Bring: * Your transport card – you’ll need to cover your own travel * Water bottle * Hat/sunscreen (hello, sunshine!) * Your good mood and open mind

Cancellation Policy
Cancel more than one week before the start to receive a full refund.

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.
