Please note, parents or guardians can't join their child's group.
We dance in the rain! No, but in all seriousness, programs will go ahead in the event of light rain. We suggest packing a raincoat especially in wetter months. Please note that umbrellas are not allowed inside the Sanctuary for safety reasons. We will contact you if the program gets cancelled due to unsafe weather.
