Thrive in Southampton, UK 19 April - 25 May 2026

This Sub Hub is perfect for your worldschooling family taking a break outside of the Schengen area

Spend your time between hubs with the same community feel, support, freedom, and a bit of adventure- in bite sized pieces. A sub-hub!

This is an amazing opportunity for kids to connect and for parents too! Real conversation, gentle coaching, games & just hanging out together. The chance to let your guard down and peacefully coexist with other families.

Activities will be offered throughout the day. Everything is optional so you can opt in based on your family's pace. Most are immersive, hands-on experiences — balanced with slower, more relaxed meetups so the energy stays sustainable. We'll explore local museums, zoos, playgrounds, and more. Evenings bring the group together for adult hangouts, family activities, and potluck-style dinners.

We're here to grow and explore as families, together. Parents can easily tag-team throughout the day, and if you ever need time to work, rest, or simply breathe, private childcare can be arranged separately.

To keep you connected with other families, each pop-up has private whatsapp groups for chatting, schedule reminders, arranging childcare, and sharing pictures.

Suggested Weekly Contribution to the community per family: 1-2 weeks: £100 per week, 3-5 weeks: £75 per week.

Families coordinate their own transportation, accommodation, and meals. The suggested contribution is purely for community events — we leave everything else out on purpose, because we never want cost to be a reason someone can't join us.
