In-person creative community experiences that parents want and families need to make modern family life feel better.
We run grassroots and B2B2C events that support the creation of a new family leisure landscape; one that promotes in-person community and parent wellbeing, and tackles the rising isolation and overwhelm so many parents feel.

What We Do
-
We create marketing events that resonate with family audiences. For impact-led, family-facing brands our meaningful and memorable family experiences are the perfect fit for a product launch or a community build — built predominantly from upcycled and donated materials.
-
We bring our signature family-friendly creative workshops to festivals UK-wide. If you're looking for multi-generational workshops for your festival or event that will put a spring in everyone's step, we'd love to bring our feel-good, low-waste family experiences to you.
-
Our grassroots events programme runs in Worthing every week, creating regular opportunities for parents to connect, create and build community - using materials largely donated by that same community. It’s the heart and soul of what we do and where we get to talk to parents in-person and learn about their highs, lows and challenges. These events are very low cost or free to remain accessible to all parents.
-
If you’re a business local to Worthing and want to support parent and family wellbeing, we’re actively looking for event sponsors. This is a chance to put your business in front of hundreds of parents whilst helping us create better in-person community experiences and support for parents and families in Worthing and beyond.
-
For landlords, councils and developers, we create stand-out experiential events and programmes for destinations targeting families. From pop-ups to workshops, if you want more family footfall we'll create something that enhances your site and builds authentic community — using largely upcycled materials to meet sustainability goals.
Our Roadmap to Change
2024
Grassroots events in Worthing
What began as an experiment in 2024 into a new way of doing family events, became a deep dive into exactly what was missing from the parent experience. Over 30 months of feedback from over 500 parents has led to the creation of our What Parents Want + What Families Need ‘New Family Leisure Landscape Manifesto.’ This is our active events + feedback programme happening weekly across Worthing.
2026
B2B2C Events in Sussex and London
With over 25 years of marketing events agency and art + installation experience under our belt for clients including Pan Macmillan, Selfridges, Ace & Tate and Bumble, the Honey House agency arm launched in 2026. We help family-facing, impact-led brands tactfully target family audiences with an in-person, meaningful and memorable event launch or event series in London or Sussex.
Fundraising and Community Currency
Parental social isolation is a societal and community problem. And although council and government budgets are dwindling, we know local businesses still care. We don't want the decline of the physical meeting place to mean today's parents have nowhere to go in Worthing, Sussex and beyond. We're actively seeking event sponsors and partners to support our Community Currency initiative to reverse this trend.
2027
Honey House Destination
So far, we’ve brought the Honey House experience to lifestyle venues across Sussex and London. But our dream is to create a permanent home for Honey House: a physical space in Worthing designed to bring our vision to life. A considered and creative “third space” unlike anything currently found in the UK. Until then we’re helping other venues power up their places - to become more family-friendly.
The Family Places Gap
There’s a growing gap between the places families need to thrive and the places that currently exist. We’ve developed eleven pillars over the years, shaped by parent feedback and the real challenges families face. Together, they define what makes a place or event nourishing for parents, engaging for children and beneficial for the whole family.
Considered Spaces
Nicely designed environment, no banana fragments on the floor.
Step 1Step 2
Simple Creativity
Doing something with their hands makes parent and children feel at ease.
Accessibility
We welcome mums and dads, we don’t create for the Instagram aesthetic and we keep costs low.
Step 3A Culture of Respect
Parents need to feel empowered, not infantilised. We treat our parents with respect.
Infant Suitability
Contained spaces for toddlers and all the amenities you’d expect.
Sustainable Materials
Most of the resources we use already exist and are donated by our community or upcycled.
Wellbeing
Building places that truly work for parents and families creates whole family wellbeing.
We use these pillars across our own events and with our clients, empowering places and providers to design experiences that truly work for families. Together, we can close the Family Places Gap and create more opportunities for community, creativity and family wellbeing.
Honest Conversation
We model honest and vulnerable conversation and make space for parents to talk.
Community
We swap out fleeting, fluffy moments for experiences that nurture vital community.
Restorative Play
Collaborative and sustainable resources that promote rest and recharging.
Identity
Who is the person beyond the parent? We explore shifting identity out in the open.

“Yes it’s about the physical space. But it’s also about what the physical place enables. Honey House experiences support the crucial and delicate re-building of a parents’ identity as they navigate the early years, orchestrate meaningful in-person community and provide much-needed wellbeing boosts throughout what is inevitably a very testing time in a parent’s life.” Daisy Hill, Honey House Founder
