Saturday Sessions

After Hours (Greenacres & Alt)

Dads and children together

Play, laughter and time together

Our Saturday sessions are a friendly, informal space where dads and their children can play, have fun, get creative and make new friends.

There’s plenty to enjoy, including:

  • Arts and crafts with different themes and creative activities.
  • Games, LEGO and role play, with lots of toys for children of different ages.
  • Toys and play equipment, including cars, dolls, prams, tents and much more.
  • Snacks and drinks, with biscuits, crisps, fruit, juice, tea and coffee.

We also organise trips out to places such as zoos, play centres, parks and local community events.

Time for dads and male carers

Great company. Great chats!

Being a dad or male carer can be busy, so our After Hours meet-ups offer the chance to take a little time out, relax and connect with other adults.

Open to dads, stepdads, grandads and male carers, these friendly monthly meet-ups are a chance to make friends, share experiences, try new activities and enjoy a cuppa in good company.

Activities include:

  • Brews and biscuits and a good old chat.
  • Games and a little friendly competition.
  • Arts and crafts and trying something creative.
  • Gardening, walks and outdoor activities.
  • Trips out and shared experiences in the local community.

You don’t need to be an expert or take part in every activity. Come along, get to know people and join in whenever you feel comfortable.
