🌧️ **RAIN, RAIN… YOU CAN STAY! 😂**

After weeks of us staring out of the Buddies windows thinking *“Could we perhaps have ONE rainy day please?!”* it looks like the weather may finally be turning! 🙌😂

Which means if you need some **cheap indoor entertainment for the final week of the holidays**, we’re here!

And yes… **WE’RE NOW OPEN BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY TOO!** 🎉

Soft play is open every day next week and our reduced summer admission is still:

⭐ Under 1s – **90p**
⭐ Age 1+ – **£5.25**

We’ve also got some extra activities running during the week — everything you need is on the timetable below 👇

We know everyone is feeling the pinch by this point in the holidays, which is exactly why we’ve kept our entry reduced.

Come down, let the kids burn off some energy, grab yourself a coffee and let us entertain them for a bit. ☕😂

And to everyone who has visited us recently after we shared how tough this summer has been for Buddies — **thank you.**

Every visit matters to a little independent business like ours, and your support genuinely helps keep our doors open.

One last week to get through… **let’s do it together!** ❤️

❤️ **ONE LAST WEEK OF THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS…**

How are we here already?!

For those of you who have officially exhausted the days out, emptied the bank account and heard *“I’m bored”* approximately 4,000 times… we’ve got you. 😂

Buddies is open for **soft play EVERY DAY next week — including Bank Holiday Monday!** 🙌

And we’re keeping our reduced entry prices:

👶 Under 1s – **90p**
🧒 Age 1+ – **£5.25**

There are also a few other things happening throughout the week, so have a look at our timetable below 👇

We also want to say a huge **thank you**.

A couple of weeks ago we shared just how difficult this summer had been for us. Hot, sunny weather understandably means families head outdoors, but for a small indoor play centre, weeks of sunshine can be incredibly tough.

The support we’ve had since sharing that post has meant more than you probably realise. ❤️

We’re not quite through summer yet though, so if you’re deciding what to do with the kids during this final week, **please consider coming to see us.**

Even a quick play and a coffee helps.

Small businesses survive because people choose to use them — and every single person who walks through our doors helps keep Buddies here.

Thank you so much for continuing to support us. 🥰
