The playgroup started out of need for something for younger children in the village. Open to all ages and we offer a safe place for the mums/carers/grandparents and their children to come along to get some much-needed company, adult conversation and a cup of tea for £2 per family. Ages also differ from 3 days old to 7 years old depending on the time of year as we allow school aged children to attend during the holidays so mums can still attend with the little ones.
