Calverley Adventure Grounds

Calverley Adventure Grounds Volunteers worked with the community to raise £225k to transform an unloved corner of our town into an area for children, redefining Calverley Grounds.

Award winning landscape architect and local resident, Jennette Emery-Wallis who is a leading specialist in her field, has designed the Calverley Adventure Grounds. Responsible for the Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens which is renowned for changing the face of play in the UK, all Jennette’s designs take into consideration the ten principles of Play, as defined by Play England, to pro

vide risk and challenge and high play value. The area has not just been designed to be in keeping with its beautiful surroundings, and take inspiration from its history, but also to enhance it. Children will play amongst apple trees, lavender and grasses to augment the play value of the space. The design avoids prescriptive play and encourages children to create their own adventure. Much thought has been give to collaborative play and creating a social space for children of all ages and abilities to play together. In addition the play space reflects the heritage of the local area and storyboards will be situated on site for children to learn more about the town in which they live.

👭 PERFECT PARTNERSHIP 👭

We all know that our little haven is a slave to the seasonal weather - the rain and winter wind is NOT our friend! So how perfect is this little pop-up partnership!

From Tuesday 7th November we will be taking on the coffee offering - a truly magical space in town! It’s perfectly formed playarea will keep little ones entertained and our gorgeous beans will keep older ones caffeinated and awake!

It’s been an absolute JOY to work this idea up with Georgia - we have a few things up our sleeve to see you through the winter months and keep The Inside alive for that little bit longer!

Make sure you comment and like to keep up to date with our news and beat the blasted algorithms!!

😃 THANK YOU 😃

To everyone who made the conscious effort to hang out with us and our little slice of heaven today!

It was utterly DELIGHTFUL to see so many happy smiles, hear the contented chatter and calm the kiddie dramas with the forever magical bubble wands!

We’re open again tomorrow - 9-4 - and may even kick start Sunday with banana and Nutella toastie with a 🍓 on top and a 🥑, sriracha and tomato toastie for the grown up ones!

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU 🥰

Sad news that The_inside_tw will be closing its doors soon. Laura brought such a lovely little sanctuary to compliment the playground which will be greatly missed.

We do not know what plans lie ahead for the Pavillion as it falls under Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.

We wish Laura the best of luck and all her hard work for keeping the community spirit going for so long.

😢 BUT SOMETIMES NOT FOR LONG 😢

For those who haven’t seen my story, I’ve got some news….

After too many months of struggling I’ve made the decision to shut the inside. It’s a cauldron of problems, but the bottom line is summer didn’t work in our favour and the debt is an anchor around the business, slowly pulling it under.

I’ve tried so much to keep our little haven alive but there comes a point when it’s all proving to be too hard, too difficult.

It’s going to be a process of winding down and while the weather is so lovely we’ll try and be open as much as we can (we’ll use our stories to update on open days)!

I’m sorry to all our beautiful community that I couldn’t make it work, nearly 4 years ago I was over joyed to be creating such a space in town, and for a little while we did it.

It’s been a ride, that’s for sure!

Much love

🌈 SPONOR SEARCHING 🌈

As the flowers unfold our little haven is breathing back to life, coming into its own with the childhood chatter, eye-dancing happiness and forever friends made over sandpits.

Our hibernation period is over and we are ready for THE most glorious summer!

It’s time now to look to the future and to work a way through our forever path. We’d love to team up with a business to create a partnership that keeps us going and builds their brand!

The business will benefit from all the joys of our little place:

✔️Branding on our infamous Picnic in the ✔️Park bags and lunch trays
✔️Table POS promotion opportunity
✔️Logo on our wall of legends
✔️Branding on our FAB-U-LOUS seasonal event play sheets
✔️Branding on all our bubble wands and sand pit play toys (these beauts are worth their weight in gold for tear prevention!!)
✔️And toilet door promotion (all the class!).

If you know of a business that is the perfect match then please get in touch, tag or comment - it’ll be your Cilla Black moment!

Open tomorrow (10-2) with a whole load of fresh out the oven cookies, flapjacks and macaroons!

Much love
