We're continuing our mission for all children to have access to high quality creative experiences. We now operate Creative Play Centres, Activities and our Play on Prescription programme across the Tees Valley, for families in Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland.

Our next installation, Dreamland, will be opening in Dormanstown in 2025, a gorgeous sensory experience that truly transports you into your cosiest of dreams. Opening days and times will be announced closer to the time. This will be drop-in and free to attend, though we ask groups of four or more to get in touch with us in advance to help plan your visit. It’s suitable for children aged 0-5 and their families.

Our brilliant Play on Prescription programme, Let’s Play, will be back in January 2025 at Hemlington Family Hub. It’s a 6 week programme designed to improve confidence in play, parent-child bonds and meet and play with other local families. If you’d like to learn more, including how to the referral process works, please email ginaruffin@theatrehullabaloo.org.uk

We also host plenty of free things to make, see & do in other locations across Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland, including crafting, storytelling, messy play, puppetry and more! Check out our events in the What’s On section below.

All of our creative play centres, activities and programmes are inclusive. We’re also offer private sessions for families with a parent or child who is neurodivergent, disabled or has additional access and/or educational needs.
