Things to do with kids in Northfield

Northfield makes it possible to combine a town-centre errand with a proper break for children. Victoria Common sits behind the shopping centre, with two playgrounds, an orchard and paths for a change of pace, while the library on Church Road gives you somewhere to choose books together. For a planned outing, look to the leisure centre’s swimming lessons, the Baptist church’s preschool stay-and-play or family activities around St Laurence. Check the current calendar for separately advertised holiday events rather than assuming that term-time groups continue through the break.
