Board Game & Play Cafés in Brighton

PUCK, in the centre of Brighton, does board games on tap with coffee, cake and sausage rolls to keep everyone going. Round the corner, The Painting Pottery Cafe lets kids paint a mug, plate or animal figurine from £20, glazed and ready to collect a couple of weeks later, with wheel throwing for older ones in the school holidays. Out in Hove, The Book Nook is a children's bookshop with a pirate ship to climb into and a little café for coffee while they browse, entry from £7.99. For a free family session, The Bevy has a Thursday evening where families eat for free alongside its pool and darts. Toddlers do well at The Book Nook or The Painting Pottery Cafe, both indoors with somewhere to sit and feed a baby. If you fancy mini golf first, Roedean Cafe & Mini Golf Course pairs a round on the seafront with a full English afterwards. OHSO Social has sea views and a kids menu, but under 18s need to be gone by 9pm.
