This guide was put together in November 2023.
With the bad weather arriving for the season and people wanting to get out on a budget as watching pennies, Iāve putting together this guide.
This list includes cafes that have indoor play/toys/kids activities (not just colouring sheets) that are FREE to use when purchasing food/drink from the cafe (no entry fee/extra cost)
