Join us at Platform over the summer holidays for a packed programme of free food and creative activities!
Running weekdays from Monday 30 June to Friday 8 August 2025, children and families can come down to the Platform Café Bar and enjoy a free breakfast & lunch. The meals are drop in - no need to book - and served on a first come, first served basis and runs weekdays only. Parents/carers to stay with children.
We’ll have a selection of healthy, filling and delicious food on offer – with vegan and gluten free options. There will be a variety of different foods each week and each day and will include things like cereals, toast, pancakes & hot morning rolls for breakfast along with pizza, baked potatoes, burgers, soup and sandwiches for lunch - as well as fruit, snacks and treats. Food offerings will change daily and are subject to availability.
Creative activities include a wide range of things to try - from film screenings, art workshops, dance sessions, sport tasters, performances as well as as selection of board games and colouring available each day - plus lots more! Activities are either drop in or sign up on the day and are subject to change/availability.
As well as Platform activities there is lots of other stuff going on at The Bridge - including Lego, books and games in the library and a ‘Story Garden’ Summer Reading Challenge which is free to take part in - read more here or pop into the library for more information.
