Within our safe and secure purpose-built play area, little ones can try their hand at a whole host of ‘grown up’ jobs. From vet to builder, hair stylist to police person, they are free to explore while you kick back with a coffee in our cafe. Each area is kitted out with realistic and age appropriate props to give Play Avenue a ‘grown up’ feel.

Visited for the first time today with family and grandkids. Easy to find via sat nav and ample parking. Booked in on line which was easy to follow with clear instructions. Prices very competitive. On arrival clear and concise brief given at the door and greeted with a smile. Practical measure in place to keep everyone safe for COVID-19. Venue is well laid out, bright and welcoming and the 90 minute play time was just about right for our grandkids ages 2 to 5. Plenty for the children to dress up in and play with, all in great condition and clean. The Staff were brilliant and table service is in operation for drinks and food and card payments is the preferred method. As we were leaving the team were busy cleaning and setting up for the next session. Will definitely visit again as the grant are already asking when they can go again.
