What it’s like
An events space in Plymouth with swing and jazz nights, tribute acts and family entertainment like Halloween parties, plus a café and baby weighing clinic.
This is a community events venue rather than a soft play or attraction, so what's on depends entirely on the calendar. There are swing and jazz nights, tribute acts and an Ultimate Swing and Christmas Tribute Night on the listings, alongside family-friendly entertainment such as Halloween parties. The evening music events read as adult nights out rather than family outings, so it's the Halloween parties and similar listed family entertainment that are the ones to bring the kids to.
Prices vary a good bit by event. Early bird tickets for the swing and jazz night are £10, rising to £14 on the door, and Viva La Fabulous comes in at £25. The Christmas tribute night has its own early bird rate of £10 too. Booking ahead for the early bird price is clearly the move if you can plan that far in advance, since standard pricing costs more.
There's an on-site café doing burgers, cakes (gluten-free included) and carvery at events, which is handy if you're making a night or afternoon of it. The centre also runs a baby weighing service with personal health record logging, useful if you've got a newborn and want a proper check without a GP trip, though it's a health service rather than something to entertain a toddler with.
The centre is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, though ticketed evening events will run outside those hours. There's an event space for parties and celebrations too, described as flexible rooms with modern facilities.
