Tucked within Meanwhile Gardens, the Playhut is a welcoming space designed especially for babies, toddlers, pre-school children and their families.
Through play, creativity and time spent outdoors, children can explore, imagine and discover at their own pace, while parents, grandparents and carers enjoy being part of a friendly and supportive community.
Alongside free play, we offer a varied programme of activities throughout the year, including arts and crafts, storytelling, gardening, seasonal celebrations and nature-based experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence and creativity.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning each week, you'll always find a warm welcome.
Sessions are free for families that live in Kensington and Chelsea, otherwise there is a charge of £3.00 cash per family per session.
