On the day we will have Police and Fire vehicles and representation from lots of departments from Fire & Police and external partners. We will also have demonstrations and inputs on offer throughout the day on varying subjects. There will be some refreshments available on-site including drinks and cake. We suggest bringing a packed lunch if you are staying for a while. Please note the venue is cash only, we have no card facilities. If you wish to purchase cakes or drinks (all profits raised go to charity), or join in with the fundraising activities you will need some cash on the day.

We will have lots of free child friendly activities on the day including, crafting stations, find the missing bear, treasure hunt, uniform try on and finger printing plus lots of other things to see and do. There is lots of great advice for our older visitors, it’s really a day any age can enjoy and learn something new, it’s not an event exclusively for children.

The centre is not a secure building, gates and doors will be open whilst the day is running, and we do have functioning items in rooms which are not safe to access without adult supervision. It’s imperative that all children must be supervised by the adult who has brought them to the event, at all times.

The event is free to attend and open to all ages. As the centre is indoors it’s an event that the British weather cannot spoil. In the event of poor weather visitor numbers will be limited due to fire regulations.

The day will start at 1000 and end at 1500.

There is no car parking on site, parking restrictions are in place in surrounding areas on the industrial estate. Please respect these restrictions, which are enforced by RMBC and respect our local businesses by not using the car parks for their premises. We recommend parking away from the location and using one of the regular bus services to the centre.
