In order to maintain safety inside The Dolphin there may be times we need to limit numbers and ask families to wait outside or to make space for others once they've chosen what they need.

Parent/Carers are responsible for their children whilst visiting The Lighthouse and we have a few toys that they can play with.

If you have any questions or for more information, please email lighthouse@suttonvineyard.org
