Kids Capers back in business

Horsham’s Kids Capers reopened on Friday, almost a year to the day after closing when a new owner could not be found.

Twelve-year owner Bernie Dyer said the workload of owning and running three Horsham-based businesses – including cafes Up Tempo and Alley – became too much and she closed the indoor play centre. 

“We sold Alley Café, so thought we might as well reopen Kids Capers,” she said.

“We had about 40 people come through on our first day back.”

Mrs Dyer said the venue was popular with mothers’ groups and preschool children throughout the week, as well as older children on weekends.

“Although we have slightly different trading hours now, everything else is the same – same venue, same equipment,” she said.

The centre is open five days a week, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
