The Ark Play Group!

The Ark is a cafe-style drop-in for parents and carers with babies and pre-school children. 

It opens every Tuesday between 9.30am and 1pm in St Laurence's Church Hall, The Shambles, (Stroud town centre).

Volunteers serve refreshments from the kitchen and are also available to chat to families visiting The Ark. Children remain the responsibility of their parents and carers at all times. Admission is based on donations and you are welcome to come whether you can donate or not, Hot and cold drinks are available plus homemade cakes and snacks - all at very reasonable prices, and there is no obligation to purchase anything from the café. 

There is a large playmat with a wide selection of toys as well as a play kitchen, books, puzzles, stories and songs, a sensory activity and a craft table
