3/ We loved working with Lee Wakemans again, who project managed our 2021 expansion, and TPS360 Project Solutions who undertook the build itself. We now have a flexible, adaptable space which adds to the spaces currently available to hire for conferences, dinners and events 😊.

2/ We're extremely grateful for the generous support from the Bradbury Foundation, Moondance Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, Foyle Foundation and UKSPF. As a charity, none of this would have been possible without their backing.

1/ Our expansion continues! 🎉. Yesterday we opened up a whole new discovery zone for visitors to explore. The work on the development of an under-utilised external terrace is completed and is now named the Bradbury Zone.
