(Probably) the World's First Happiness Tours, London

Done all the traditional London tours and seen the sites, and now interested in something alternative to do on a day out in London?

Looking to explore and have fun with others on an adventure like no other?

Want a unique experience for a birthday gift, anniversary treat, hen do or team do?

Join our first-of-its-kind immersive journey in London: part workshop, part hidden secrets of London tour, part treasure hunt/scavenger hunt.

Combining positive psychology, creativity, a love of pub quiz trivia and playful escape room inspired games, spend a fun few hours out and about in small groups. Shed new light on ourselves, each other and the environment around us, in a new interactive and social way.

Tea/coffee/soft drink at the start included. Unlock the treasure and take home tips and techniques to reduce stress and increase creativity and joy in your life.

• Playful St Paul's - starting near St Paul's, ending near Barbican, to reignite your playful side. Typically 10.00am (Mon-Sat) or 11.30am (Sun) start.

• Creative London Courts - starting near Holborn, ending near Temple, to reinspire your creative side. Typically 2.00pm (Sat/Sun) start.

• Play for wellbeing, September 2022, Sutton Women's Centre

Are you looking forward to the kids going back to school and having so YOU time? Why not coming along to our first Wednesday Wellbeing Workshop of September and have some fun?

When did you last play? What thoughts arise when you think of play? Did you know having a playful mindset is scientifically proven to help with wellbeing. Come and discover why and give yourself a few hours of fun away from the hum drum. A gentle introduction to a world of imagination, games (don't worry, nothing too physical) and ideas to introduce more play into your day to day for less stress and more smiles.
