Booking now open for our March events and activities – including our Easter Party!

Spring is in the air (or at least just around the corner) and we hope you will be able to join us at SPACE – either cooking up a feast from the comfort of your own home, trying aerial gymnastics, or getting in the zone at Gaming Club. Lego lovers can get creative with their builds at Lego Club, and for families craving a little thrill – Indoor Climbing, and Roller Skating might take your fancy. Our much-loved Doughnutting event returns for the Easter holidays, and we’re also delighted that fishing season is back again! For art lovers, try your hand at Graffiti or painting pottery towards the end of the month.

We hope you will be able to join us at our Easter Party in the first week of the Easter Holidays too, a firm favourite for you, and us here at SPACE!

Please know on mental health week that mental health problems don't define who you are. They are something you experience, let's try to start listening to the way you talk to yourself.
We hope the little pick me ups in the centre waiting room did just that, a little something for you all.

On mental health week know that seeking support is brave, asking for help is a huge step and something to be proud of.
Healing takes time, strength is found in vulnerability, and rest is productive.
What can you do today that is kind to yourself? Be it some self acceptance, taking 5 minutes to read? Or going to bed a bit earlier? Take a moment, pause you've got this.
