🌿 An important update from The Hidden Village Keighley 🌿

Sunday 7th June will be our final regular play café day for a little while, as we take a pause from our usual play sessions over the summer.

If you’re able to visit us tomorrow, it would be a huge show of support and we would be so incredibly grateful. We’d love to welcome as many families as possible for one last play before the pause — please do book your space and come and enjoy the village with us ✨

Like many small family businesses, we’re having to adapt to rising costs, changing customer habits and the seasonal dip that comes with the warmer months. Rather than continuing to struggle through the summer in a way that isn’t sustainable, we’ve made the decision to pause, reset and focus on a plan that gives The Hidden Village Keighley the best chance of being here long term.

Over the next few months, we’ll be shifting our focus towards becoming a party-first children’s venue, with beautiful premium birthday parties, private hire, nursery visits and selected special events.

Our play café isn’t disappearing — we know how much The Hidden Village means to so many local families — this pause is about giving Keighley the best chance to come back stronger, with more magical reasons to visit.

We’ll still be sharing updates, exciting party information and summer event dates soon, so please keep an eye on our page.

Thank you so much for all your support. We’d love to see as many of you as possible tomorrow for our final regular play café day before the summer pause 🌿✨

Sometimes the loveliest visits are the ones you decide on last minute 🤍

Children move between the village and sensory room at their own pace — running the market stall, building on the construction site, or baking in the café.

There’s time to explore properly.
Time to stay with the spaces they love.

And for parents, a chance to sit with a coffee while the stories unfold 🌿

We do still have spaces available tomorrow if you’re looking for something engaging and easy to do with your little one.

One of the things families tell us most is how different it feels here.

Sessions are intentionally small.
The space feels open.
Parents can sit comfortably while children move between areas.

It’s not about being the biggest.
It’s about being thoughtfully designed.

If you’re planning for Monday or next weekend, you can see what’s coming up in our bio 🌿

Some children head straight into the village.
Others take their time 🤍

Our sensory room is there for both.

A softer space.
Gentle lighting.
Textures to explore.
A place to regulate before — or after — role play.

It isn’t separate from the experience.
It’s part of what makes the visit feel manageable 🌿

And for babies or younger visitors, it can be the main focus of the day.

If you’re choosing outings that work with your child — save this for later 🤍

Some children want to try everything 🤍

Police station.
Fire engine.
Construction site.
Hospital.
Market stall.
Café.
The sensory room.

They move between spaces with curiosity and confidence — building stories as they go.

That’s the beauty of a space designed to feel open and connected 🌿

They don’t have to choose just one thing.
They can explore it all at their own pace.

We’re open again from Friday if you’re planning a visit this week.
