(ad) Happy Rooms - enjoy before 22 September

Happy Rooms is one of the best things we did this summer (read our full review here: https://www.northeastfamilyfun.co.uk/2024/08/happy-rooms-review.html ).

Located in Middlesbrough Town Centre and fully indoors, this family experience is suitable for all ages and abilities explores what it means to be happy.

Expect 12 immersive experiences from FREE ice cream and a silent disco to light art, a giant marble run, campfire stories, chillout spaces and more.

All good things must come to an end though and there are just THREE weekends in September left to experience Happy Rooms.

Book now for 6/7/8 September , 13/14/15 September and 20/21/22 September: https://stellarcreates.co.uk/product/happy-rooms/
