Inspiration Brewed from Compassion
Dramatize began as a dream in 2011—a dream to create a space where creativity meets care, where every individual is celebrated for their unique abilities. Inspired by the need for inclusive activities in the Spelthorne area, we embarked on a journey that brought to life not just a day service, but a haven for personal development through the arts.

Charming cafe relaxed and very friendly with young people with special needs serving customers. Lovely cakes that are homemade and coffee and something a little stronger. Highly recommended. Excellent service.

This was my first visit to meet a friend of mine, and I’m so glad she suggested coming here. The entire team are absolutely brilliant and deserve medals, as their customer interaction and service is outstanding. Food is brilliant and whilst my waistline would not agree, the cakes they serve are amazing.
