Keep costs down by spending a day at Dobbies, where kids can enjoy a free-to-attend educational and engaging Little Seedlings Holiday Club, parents can take advantage of Dobbies’ Kids Eat Free restaurant offer and keep the little ones busy at the soft play.
Free February Little Seedlings Holiday Club
Dobbies’ Little Seedlings Holiday Club is designed for children aged 4-10 years old and will take place throughout the February half term.
Flowers from the Heart is the topic for this fun-filled activity-based workshop which will focus on beautiful blooms, with children learning about where they come from and the different types, how these flowers attract insects and all the different parts, including sepals, petals, stamens and carpels.
Children will also learn about the language of flowers, symbolism behind different varieties, why gifting them is a great gesture and more about the most popular gifting flower, the rose.
Dates and times will vary according to individual stores.
Kids Eat Free restaurant offer
Dobbies offers Kids Eat Free, allowing children under the age of 16 to enjoy their food for free with every traditional adult breakfast and main course meal at lunch. Children can pick from the kids’ breakfasts, lunch menu or pick ‘n’ mix meal, including a drink.
Restaurants are open Monday-Sunday from 9am, location times may vary and customers are advised to visit the website to check the restaurant opening hours.
Soft play
Families are invited to come and join in the fun at Dobbies’ Little Seedlings soft play, where children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to young kids, can let off some steam and play in a safe environment.
The soft play area is in Dobbies’ restaurant, where families can enjoy tasty meals and snacks, plus kids eat free with every adult main meal. Pre-booking is recommended to avoid disappointment, but there may be walk-in spaces available on the day, prices and age ranges vary for each store, starting at £2.
