Gather & Grow Returns to the Market Hall

From Thursday 5th March, Gather & Grow Stay and Play will be back in Saxmundham Market Hall.

For the past few months, while the Market Hall was closed for repairs, our under-5s group has been meeting in the Gannon Rooms. We’re incredibly grateful to have had a space to keep going – because keeping little ones connected, playing and exploring together really matters. But if we’re honest… it’s been a squash and a squeeze!

More room. More movement. More magic.

From next Thursday, you can expect:

  • More space for running (those little legs need it!)
  • More room for toys and creative play
  • More freedom to explore
  • More laughter echoing around the hall
  • More fun for everyone

The Market Hall gives us the breathing room that makes Gather & Grow so special. It means cosy corners for quieter play, space for big imaginative games, and plenty of room for grown-ups to chat over a cuppa while little ones build, bounce and make new friends.

If you joined us in the Gannon Rooms – thank you for sticking with us. If you’ve been waiting for us to return to the hall – now’s the time to come back. And if you’ve never been before? This is your sign.

Gather & Grow is a welcoming, relaxed stay-and-play session for families with children under five, held every Thursday during term time at the Saxmundham Market Hall. There’s no pressure or expectations – just a warm, safe community space where little ones can play, explore and make friends while parents and carers relax, chat and connect over free tea and coffee. We also offer a healthy snack for the children, and there’s no need to book – simply drop in and you’ll always find a friendly welcome.

So pop Thursday 5th March in your diary and come and see us at the Saxmundham Market Hall.

We can’t wait to welcome you back.
