A soft-play meetup for parents and their little ones is touring across Bridgwater.

The Bridgwater Play Barn offers parents and pre-school children an opportunity to connect within the community.

The organisers have created an interactive session, which includes a large soft play structure and a role play area.

It is expected to prepare children for school and give parents an opportunity to build connections with other families.

It starts with St Mary’s on May 7 in the morning.

Community members are encouraged to join, promising them an engaging time at the soft-play meetups.
