Herne Hill Velodrome Kids Cycling
Endless fun on two wheels! It's a wheely good place (sorry, couldn't resist) where kids can learn to ride, build cycling confidence through coaching sessions tailored to all abilities, or race around on track cycling tasters and youth mountain biking. There's a really busy schedule so check the website to see when is best for you to go - take your own bikes or, the Frog, Learn to Cycle, and all track sessions (Track Tasters, Track Skills, Intermediate Training, Race Training and Accreditation) sessions include free, optional bike hire.

Riders aged 6yrs+ can take part in weekly Youth Mountain Bike sessions and youngsters aged 8yrs+ are able to try the Track Cycling Tasters.

StreetHunt Games
Teams navigate city streets using their phones to solve puzzles, uncover clues, and crack outdoor mysteries - it's a team-building fun for groups of 10+ so ideal for birthdays or new classes etc to bond. Feels like a mixture of a scavenger hunt, escape room, and murder mystery. We found it designed for all skill levels: challenging, but accessible, and easy to organise.
