About Local Family Events

Connecting families with amazing local activities, venues, and events across Berkshire, Surrey, and Hampshire since 2012

Our Story

Born from a mother's love and determination to help families discover the joy of local adventures

Our Founder

Karen Hurley

Founder & CEO

"When I had my first child, I found myself constantly wondering what we could do together in our local area. I spent hours searching online, but struggled to find reliable, up-to-date information about family-friendly activities and venues."

That's when the idea for Local Family Events was born. Karen realized that if she was struggling to find quality family activities, other parents must be too. What started as a personal quest to discover local gems has grown into a comprehensive platform helping thousands of families across the region.
