We’re delighted to be welcoming Pebble & Wave to The Dell for a series of outdoor Stay & Play sessions.

Pebble & Wave create calm, creative play experiences that encourage babies and young children to explore, imagine and connect with nature. Through sensory play, themed activities and open-ended exploration, each session is designed to help families enjoy quality time together outdoors in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Set against the stunning countryside views at The Dell, these sessions are the perfect way to spend a morning enjoying nature, fresh air and creative play. Whether you’re joining a themed adventure or a gentle baby sensory session, there’s something for little explorers of all ages.

Parents and carers stay with their children throughout the session, and Pebble & Wave provide all the activity equipment – simply come dressed for the weather and let your little ones explore at their own pace.

Our café is open from 9:00am-12:00pm, serving freshly brewed coffee, homemade cakes and pastries, so why not make a morning of it and relax while enjoying the beautiful surroundings before or after your session?
