Pocket Money, Big Decisions: A Family Adventure in Money, Spending and Saving!Come along, play, create, explore and have fun together!

What does money mean to us? How do we decide what to spend, what to save, and what really matters?

Join us for a fun, creative and inclusive family adventure exploring the world of money through play, creativity and conversation!

Families and children of all ages are warmly welcome to come together to enjoy board games, LEGO building, arts and crafts, and playful activities designed to spark curiosity and bring people together.

Through games, creative challenges and hands-on activities, we'll explore some of life's big decisions about money – from spending and saving to making choices, sharing and thinking about what matters most.

There are no right or wrong answers, no financial expertise needed and absolutely no pressure! Our aim is to create a welcoming space where children and grown-ups can learn from one another, share ideas and enjoy meaningful conversations about money in an approachable, ethical and playful way.

Whether you're a board-game enthusiast, a creative maker, a LEGO fan or simply curious to explore money together, there's something for everyone!

Come as you are, bring your curiosity and get ready for a little family fun with some big ideas!
