Our 1 year contract at Unit 4, Holliers Park has come to an end, and unfortunately and sadly, we have decided not to extend it. Sensory Island will be open at Holliers Park until 27th October 2024. We are currently brainstorming lots of ideas for the future of the business, looking at new venues, pop up shops & groups. Sensory Island isn’t closing for good, but once we close our doors we may have a period of only offering External Private Hire where we bring Sensory Island to you for your parties and events like we did before. We are very sad to see it leave Holliers Park, but also excited for the future to see where our lovely little family business will end up… 💭

As soon as we have any updates we will inform you all on our Facebook & Instagram, but for now, please enjoy Sensory Island as normal while it’s still at Holliers Park. We also have our Halloween Event to see us out in style at the end of October! 👻

Thank you to all of our wonderful customers for making the last year incredible, we hopefully have lots of new and exciting changes coming our way and we can’t wait to take you on this next journey with us 💜
