I have some big news to share with you, I have officially stepped down from after 8 years of running Londons biggest messy play it’s time to hand the slime over.
Let me introduce you to my sister in law Ellie, a lot of you will recognise her as she has run the sessions with me for the past 4 years, so I can assure you that Mess It Up is in safe hands.
The classes will run as usual, Fridays 10-12 at priory park from May and I will be there for the first class on 8th May, tickets will go on sale in April as usual and we are currently changing everything over to Ellie’s details including this instagram so please stay with us!
It’s bitter sweet for me, I’ve built this up from nothing and had so many amazing days and made some lovely friends too but moving out of london just makes it to hard and its so reassuring to have it stay in the family.
Ellie has so much more energy and time to put into Mess It Up and has big plans to expand and branch out so watch this space!
Hope to see lots of you on the 8th May to say bye! Thank you to everyone who has visited and supported Mess it Up so far. Lots of love Kylie

If you haven’t been yet, this Friday is your final opportunity is wrapping up for the summer.
Kylie, who runs these incredible sessions, puts so much into them they’re always brilliant (and gloriously messy). Honestly, one of our favourite activities, especially on sunny days.
👉 What to expect: paint, edible play, rainbow spaghetti, sand, jelly, mud, foam, flour, bubbles, and LOTS of water play.
Bring old clothes, a spare change, and plenty of wipes—you’ll need them!
💦 Sessions are 2 hours long, with flexible arrival and leaving times, and the gated space makes it stress-free even with multiple little ones. Suitable for children up to age 9, so older siblings can dive in too—perfect for the summer holidays!
🎟 Tickets:
• 1 Adult + 1 Child: £13
• Sibling: £8
• Extra Adult: £6
Don’t miss out this is your last chance to experience the messiest most joyful Friday in London
📍Priory Park, Crouch End N8 (enter from Priory Road side-we’re in the bowling green in front of the playground and by the cafe)
