We’ve loved following the journey of Dinosaurs Love Fairy Cakes, a play cafe in waiting that’s the brainchild of founders (and York mums) Amy and Zoe. While waiting for the perfect venue for their cafe/playspace, they’ve been running popular pop-up events to showcase their roaring, sprinkling magic to new parents. We know of very few places in York city centre that tick all the boxes for parents of young children, and there’s nowhere that offers a decent play area and good food. Until now.

They’ve found a venue!

Excitingly, Amy and Zoe have now found the ideal venue for their play cafe (the old Toy Master building just off Parliament Street) and now it’s all systems go to turn their dreams into a reality. They’ve entered a Crowdfunder/NatWest competition and they’ve made the shortlist of pitches! They need to raise £30,000, and in return for your pledge, there are some rather lovely rewards, from pre-paid entry to the cafe to branded coffee cups or even your child’s birthday party!
