Play & Eat everyday weekday at The Nest from 4pm - 6pm

Starting this September, we’re excited to launch our ‘Play & Eat’ programme at The Nest, running every weekday afternoon during term time from 4pm to 6pm. It’s a great chance for kids and their families to unwind and have fun in our amazing outdoor spaces, followed by a delicious, freshly cooked dinner.

Every evening, from 5pm, we’ll serve up a new meal, including family favourites like vegetarian lasagne, mango & lime chicken, tacos, and jacket potatoes with various tasty toppings.

For the first hour, from 4pm, children and their parents or carers can enjoy either the Challenge Woods outdoor play area or have a kick about on one of our two 3G football pitches. Please note adult supervision is required for both activities.

The new initiative has been launched following a £5,000 donation from Persimmon Homes Anglia. As a result of this generous grant, the cost per child will be just £2.

How it works

Chief Executive Officer at the Community Sports Foundation, Ian Thornton, OBE said:

“We are really proud to bring these ‘Play & Eat’ sessions to The Nest.

Not only will local families be able to enjoy a healthy, freshly-cooked meal, the ‘play’ hour offers an invaluable opportunity to socialise, exercise and make new friends, all for a very reasonable price.

While the programme is open to all, we hope it will be most beneficial for those who are struggling to cope with the ever-rising costs of feeding their children or providing a healthy, nutritious meal.

Jorden Knell, Sales Director for Persimmon Homes Anglia, said:

“We are delighted to be able to work with the Norwich Community Sports Foundation to launch the Play and Eat programme for young people and their families in the area.

“Having seen first-hand the facilities available at The Nest we know that young people will benefit from this opportunity to use them before enjoying a wholesome, balanced meal.

“At Persimmon Homes we take great pride in supporting our communities and it is a privilege to be able to work with the Foundation to bring forward this new programme.”

We’re very grateful to Persimmon for their donation which has enabled us to make this project a reality.”
