Locations & Hours
Sessions run across Harlow, Loughton, Hertford, Broxbourne and Cheshunt — you'll need your own vehicle and a full UK driving licence. Weekday afternoons and evenings during term time (roughly 3:30–8:00pm on session days). During the school holidays, we switch from coding clubs to gaming sessions.
