BOOMCHIKKABOOM is a popular events company designed specifically for children, hosting a variety of activities including; family raves, messy playas, cinema experiences, workshops and festivals, across different venues in and around Leeds.
They recently launched their own new space to host a lot of their events, called Our Place. Now officially up and running, Our Place hosts ‘The Hangout’ every week, with soft play, dress up, crafts, music, bubbles and a bouncy castle! Not to mention a yummy menu full of cheesy goodness, delicious cakes and a selection of hot and cold drinks. What more could you want?!
Emily and I went along to check it out! The space is broken down into 3 key areas; the café, the break-out room and the events space. The sessions are also broken down into free play for the first hour in the event space, a focused activity in the break-out room for the second hour – our activity was messy play – followed by singing, dancing and bubbles, then free play and the opportunity for some crafts in last hour and a half – we made our very own paper hedgehog!
The bouncy castle was a clear winner with Emily during the free play, running back and fourth, attempting to jump! She also enjoyed a spot of seesaw and scooter action, and when she discovered the blue dinosaur in the dress-up section, I thought I was going to have to take her home in it…! The Messy Playa was a great hit too – with a lot of sand, rice, spaghetti, and blue goop going everywhere. She kept playing until the very last piece was tidied away, and then she headed back to the bouncy castle while I waited for our lunch order.
They serve the most delicious grilled cheese sandwiches for grownups and children, as well as a grazing platter for kiddies. Vegan options are also provided. And their drinks selection is something a little special too with candy-flossed-topped milkshakes and hot chocolates. We ate in the main events space area, but there is seating in the café as well should you want to have a more chilled meal without any distractions.
The Hangout at Our Place is a fantastic new space to take children of all ages to. It’s a good mix of free play and focused activities, giving the children lots to occupy themselves, allowing you to watch over them in a relaxed and safe environment. We made the most of our time there and were surprised at how quickly the time flew! We will definitely be going back.
The Hangout at Our Place is open every week Tuesday-Friday, 10am-1.30pm with a different theme each week. It is £4 for the session if pre-booked. £5 on the door. (Adults and siblings under 6months are FREE). Parking during the week is limited, but there is plenty of street parking within a few minutes’ walk from the venue.
