What happens at a Dad La Soul playdate?

For over a decade, we’ve been running award-winning, kick-ass playdates for dads and kids. More than 12,000 dads and families have come through our doors.

They keep coming back because this works.

We create space for proper connection, where kids can play freely and dads don’t feel invisible.

Sometimes it’s crafts, games and outdoor adventures.

Sometimes it’s DJing, robots or filmmaking.

Sometimes it’s Lego competitions or Hot Wheels.

Every playdate is different. Come and see what fun awaits.

"Good people. Good energy. Room to breathe."

Who is it for?

This event is for dads and male-identifying carers aged 16+ and their children.

It doesn’t matter what your postcode is, your marital status or the size of your bank balance. Whether you’re married, single, co-parenting or still figuring it out, you are welcome. Maybe:

You’ve just had a baby and haven’t slept in weeks

You’re surviving the toddler tornado

You’re trying to reach your child in a world of screens and stress

You simply want something fun to do together

In any case, we see you.

This is your space.

Why it matters

A lot of dads feel isolated and it doesn’t get talked about enough.

Dad La Soul is here to change that.

On the surface, it’s fun, chaos and play. Underneath, it’s connection, community and a space where you’re not doing this alone.

"Come for the chaos. Stay for the connection."
