Event Description
Get ready to unleash your inner chef at our Play & Lunch session! Children will have a blast creating their own delicious lunch. It’s a fun, hands-on experience where creativity meets flavour. The best part? You get to eat what you make! So grab your apron, roll up your sleeves and let’s cook up some tasty fun together! These sessions are for children aged between 4 years and 11 years. Siblings are welcome.
Booking is required so we can plan for the right amount of food and accommodate any dietary requirements.
Our Best Start Family Hubs services are restricted to those living in the London Borough of Sutton only. Our sessions are very popular and we want to prioritise those living in the borough. If you are unsure what your local area offers please do not hesitate to contact us and we will signpost you to your nearest service.
