Highgrove Soft Play
Quiet, cheap soft play and craft area for under-fives with good coffee — but it's upstairs with no lift.

Restaurant · Carlisle
A pub kitchen in Carlisle with kids' menu prices at the gentler end, so a family meal here won't feel like an occasion you have to budget for. There are high chairs, so a baby or toddler is catered for without you bringing your own solution, and gluten-free options mean a child who can't eat wheat has something proper rather than a sad side plate. Step-free access makes getting in with a buggy straightforward, and there's outdoor seating for when a restless one needs a change of scene. It's on the quiet side and booking is recommended, so ring ahead.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
