Summer of Play: Pokémon Craft Lab
Step into the Pokémon Craft Lab, where young Trainers can get creative, hands‑on, and fully immersed in the world of Pokémon.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Join us on Brownsea Island for a burst of colour, creativity, and Pokémon‑inspired fun. At the Pokémon Craft Lab, young Trainers can dive into a range of official Pokémon printable activities — from character colouring sheets and themed headbands to foldable crafts and Poké‑Catchers — all supported by friendly facilitators. Children can choose their favourite Pokémon, decorate and assemble their creations, and take home something completely unique.
For those wanting to continue the adventure outdoors, Pokémon GO offers a separate, self‑guided experience across the island. Families can explore Brownsea’s woodland paths and coastal views while discovering Pokémon that appear along the way, adding an extra layer of excitement to their visit.
Whether you’re crafting indoors or heading out to spot Pokémon in the wild, Brownsea Island is the perfect place to let imagination roam. No booking required.
Please note that the boat fare and admission fees still apply, which are payable on the day.
