Children & accessibility

 

Some sessions are adults-only, while others are child-friendly. This varies by session and venue, so please check the session details before attending.

At STRM HQ (Benfleet), sessions are best suited to babies in arms due to the size and layout of the space.
More child-friendly sessions, including Tea & Talk, are regularly held at venues such as The Hangout, which offer more space and flexibility for families.

  • The building has limited accessibility due to its age and layout
