Dudley Canal & Caverns Tunnel Tots partners with Adventure Street Children's Role Play Centre
Dudley Canal & Tunnel Trust is thrilled to announce the return of its much-loved Tunnel Tots experience now bigger, better, and more engaging than ever before, and this autumn there's new partnership
Aimed at the Trust’s youngest visitors, Tunnel Tots is a community focused experience that combines a gentle boat ride through the historic tunnels with interactive songs, Makaton games, and creative activities. This long-standing favourite has delighted families for years and is now set to reach even more children thanks to exciting new developments.
After a short summer break, the Trust has relaunched Tunnel Tots with a refreshed format, including an easy-to-use online booking system and additional boats to meet growing demand.
In a major new partnership, the Trust has teamed up with Adventure Street, a popular children’s role play centre based in Sedgley. As the first official partner of Adventure Street On the Go, their brand-new mobile play initiative, Dudley Canal & Tunnel Trust is proud to support this innovative approach to learning through imaginative play.
Starting 3rd September, families attending Tunnel Tots will not only enjoy the enhanced boat trip but can also stay on-site for Adventure Street On the Go play sessions, bringing even more fun and developmental opportunities to the Trust’s canal side venue.
Paul Crofts, CEO of Dudley Canal & Tunnel Trust, said: “This partnership is incredibly exciting and important for the Trust. It supports our strategic vision to reimagine how we use our spaces, grow our audiences, and strengthen community engagement. Adventure Street aligns perfectly with our charitable aims and our vision for the future. We’re proud to support a local business that shares our values and commitment to the Black Country.”
Lana Scanlon, Owner of Adventure Street, added: "Adventure Street is so excited to be partnering with Dudley Canal Trust and tunnel tots. Play is at the heart of everything we do, because it's through play that children develop confidence, creativity and curiosity. Together, we're creating opportunities for families to learn, explore and thrive whilst having fun - Adventure just got even bigger!"
