Sunday- August 23rd & 30th
Creative Kids Craft Workshop on Sundays
Stay connected offline while with us. We feature a professional arts and crafts host (Eleni from Asterakia) to lead table activities in a separate area twice a month on Sundays, along with our Clissold Arms personalised colouring kits, books and board games for all ages available every day.
THE CLISSOLD ARMS Family Swap Shop
Bring in a book or a toy your little ones have outgrown
...and swap it for another treasure from our shelves. It’s free and you can enjoy your meal while they explore the ‘new’ toy. A great and fun lesson about sharing and recycling within the community- they aren’t losing a toy, they pick out a toy/book they’re ready to pass on to their neighbour and they’ll take their exchange back at home.
