We are delighted to confirm that Sycamore Adventure is now part of Dudley Academies Trust, operating under interim arrangements from Friday 1st May.

There are a few more legal formalities to conclude before we are able to share our exciting plans for the centre and all its users!

We are launching today a brand-new website and guest WiFi for Sycamore Adventure - making it easier than ever to book open play sessions and parties. Our integrated booking and till system means smoother booking, quicker payments, and hassle-free visits. Party enquiries can now be made online, with live availability.

Cash is of course still accepted and we will continue to accept payment on the day so it's fine to just turn up and play!

For now, it’s very much business as usual, and we’ll share more about our longer-term plans once the handover process is fully complete. The existing session calendar will continue as it is, and a reminder that the centre is closed this bank holiday weekend as usual. The existing phone number is being redirected however is not yet live.

If you have any questions, feel free to email [email protected] and we will be happy to help!

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Today marks my last day at Sycamore Adventure Centre. From Friday, the site will move into the care of Dudley Academies Trust, who will be taking over the management and operation.

Before I go, I really want to take a moment to reflect on what’s been achieved over the last three and a half years. Alongside Ash, Sycamore Adventure CIO, and all the great staff who deliver our public play sessions, we’ve worked hard to make the site more inclusive, engaging, and welcoming for children and schools.

Together, we’ve introduced things like new sensory and play areas, a wheelchair-accessible swing, refreshed water play, better pathways, more shade and seating, and lots of little touches that have made a big difference to how the site is used and enjoyed. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved as a team.

Ash will continue delivering sessions under the new management, which I know will give visitors great continuity, and I’m confident the site is in good hands for the future.

It’s been a real privilege to be part of Sycamore’s journey – thank you to everyone who’s supported the centre and helped make it such a special place. 🌳

See you all soon,

Greg

Just to clarify the situation as there seems to be some confusion on the post about today's Celebration Event at Sycamore Adventure

The Sycamore Adventure Centre is staying open as it has been taken over by the Dudley Academies Trust as of Friday 1st May 2026

Today is a Celebration for previous Parents, Grandparents, Staff, Volunteers etc who have been involved with it over the last few years to Celebrate as some are leaving or no longer going to be involved with the Centre or their Children have grown up and have Children of their own now. The Centre means an awful lot to a lot of people and has been there for many years and we felt it only right before handing it over into the capable hands of the trust who we know will look after it that we say a Farewell in our own way.

We are positive the Academy Trust will have some Fabulous Plans for the Centre and help put the much needed Funding it needs into it to be here for many Generations to come

- The Staff that are currently there will still be there when you visit but there are a few changes such as Greg the Current Manager is no longer there after Thursday so it is a joint Celebration to say Goodbye and Thank to him 🙏 for all his amazing hard work over the last few years to keep it going

- There will still be all the usual stuff you enjoy there Sand Pit, Water Play, Mud Kitchen, Soft Play, Sensory Room, Campfire and we are sure more to come over the coming Months under the New Ownership.

Again this is just a Farewell Celebration to the people who will no longer be involved in the Centre and to Greg We wish to Thank all of them 🙏 for all the long hours and effort they have put in over the years.

Long may Sycamore continue to be here for the people of Dudley and beyond ♥️

🍾 Just one more for Old Times Sake..........🍾

Well as you all probably know Sycamore Adventure is being transferred to Dudley Academies Trust as of 1st May 2026 so we thought it only right that we have a little Celebration 🍾 to say Farewell to the Sycamore that we have all known and loved for many many years 😞

So as tomorrow is our last Saturday Family Session under it's current ownership we are going to make it one to remember 😊 the weather is set to be on our side ☀️ so come along and join us between 11.00am and 1.00pm where we will be joined by Trotalot Pony Rides and Parties with the Beautiful Ponies that you will be able to Ride, Pet and Groom for FREE. We also have the Fabulous Emily from Magic Memories Events and Entertainment who will be there doing Facepainting for us also for FREE

We will also be lighting the Campfire 🔥 for one last time so gather round and let's recreate the Magic that is Sycamore one last time for old times sake!!! ♥️

Please share and invite Young and Old to reminisce over the Good Times! The Water Fights 💧 The Summer BBQ's 🍔 with the Keith and Will Special Burgers, Ash and Glen playing Manhunt or Football on the Field....Oh the Memories 🤣

Not to mention the Famous "Sycamore on Sea" we will go down in History for that one 🤣

Look forward to seeing as many of you as possible tomorrow 🙏
