COMING SOON….”The Mess Tent” and brand new purpose-built “Kids HQ”! We are currently in the middle of a major refurbishment of these two facilities. Unfortunately as a result both our Cafe and current Kids HQ will be closed until construction is complete which we hope will be mid August. We apologise for any inconvenience but we are sure the end result will be worth the wait.
