Worthing Library Free Stay and Play

Worthing Library runs a free stay and play session every Tuesday afternoon, from 1:30pm to 3:00pm, and the next one is on Tuesday 3 November. It's aimed at children aged 0 to 5, so it's a good shout if you've got a toddler or a preschooler and fancy getting them out of the house for a bit.

The session is a stay and play, which is exactly what it sounds like: you bring your little ones along and let them get stuck into playing while you hang about. It's run by the library, so it's a relaxed, community-led thing rather than a structured class. Because it's a weekly fixture, it's easy to make a habit of it if it works for you, rather than having to coordinate a one-off date.

One thing that sets it apart from a lot of indoor toddler groups is that the session makes use of the library's outside space when the weather is sunny. If the sun is out, the play moves outdoors, which is a nice change of pace and gives the kids a bit of fresh air to run around in. If it's raining, you're still sorted indoors.

It's free to attend, so there's no need to worry about booking or paying in advance. You'll find it at Worthing Library on Richmond Road, BN11 1HD, every Tuesday afternoon from 1:30pm to 3:00pm.
