For babies and toddlers, Little Werbs combines play, crafts and songs with time for grown-ups to chat. School-age children have drama and music options, plus outdoor forest-school and sports-and-stage holiday clubs. Around Chorlton Green, the artisan market adds a different kind of outing on its advertised Saturdays: stalls, live music and room to pause on the green.
