The Lonely Robot - A Heart‑Warming Mystery for Young Explorers: Monday 24 August, session timings TBC. A strange little robot has arrived… and he’s feeling very lonely. No one knows where he came from, why he’s sad, or what he needs to feel at home again. In this playful session, children become robot‑researchers, following clues, solving puzzles, and discovering the story behind their metallic visitor. Working together, they’ll uncover what makes the robot lonely - and decide how they can help him feel understood, welcomed, and full of beeps and joy once more.

A gentle adventure about friendship, teamwork, and the power of kindness. Tickets cost £4 per child. Adults accompany free. Booking essential via Ticketsource.
