MegaMix – All-Together Hub for SEN Families
Our All-Together Hub is a unique space where SEN children, neurotypical siblings, and families can engage and create together.
This inclusive model allows siblings to take part in the event, offering two rooms and two activity sections – so children can attend based on their individual needs and preferences.
Following the incredible response to our Easter Holiday Club, we’re proud to return this summer as part of MegaMix 2025 with even more activities, trained staff, and engagement.
Bookings are now open – reserve your space early to avoid disappointment.
More details will be posted soon!
