You will need to book through Eventbrite, which you can access via the leaflet, as the venue can only hold a limited number of people. This helps us manage the number of attendees. If there is significant interest in the club, we may consider extending it and potentially securing a larger hall.

How can I connect with other parents during the event?

Can there be two adults for one child?
