Safety and security
Family events work best when parents know what to expect. Each published Sunday event clearly states the activity provider, age suitability, supervision expectations, capacity and any special participation requirements.
Children remain under the supervision of their parent or responsible guardian unless a specific activity explicitly states otherwise. Every organiser delivering children's activities must meet AQ's approved safeguarding, insurance and risk-assessment requirements before participation is confirmed.
If your child has an accessibility or additional support requirement, let us know during registration so the team can advise on the most appropriate arrangements.
The experience doesn't have to end when the activity finishes.
AQ Foodhall brings children's activities and food together in the same venue. Choose your Sunday, see what's happening, register your family and plan your visit.
