The soft play is great but the toilets in a separate block/building are dirty 2 Acres of watching space and in total 11 acres (quite small)

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families hosting birthday parties for three to five year olds, where the combination of exclusive hire, attentive staff, and the surrounding park makes for a self-contained event. Casual drop-in visitors should factor in the outdoor toilet block and sparse indoor seating, which are manageable in good weather and inconvenient when wet.

β€œHad my child's 5th birthday party here and we all had a lovely time. We had 15 guests and there was more than enough room. All children were entertained and throughly enjoyed themselves. Great value for money. Would highly recommend! (Didn't get the hosts name, but she was super helpful and attentive. Thank you for all of your help)”

β€œWe had the most incredible experience thanks to Lily, the events coordinator. She was exceptional from start to finish β€” extremely responsive to emails and so helpful throughout the entire process. She truly went above and beyond to help me set up the party, handling everything quickly and efficiently. Lily was pleasant, welcoming, and an absolute joy to work with. I genuinely cannot fault her or her team. The soft play setup itself was amazing and exactly what we wanted for our three-year-old. All the children had a fantastic time. We were able to have exclusive hire, which made the experience even more special. We also loved that we could bring our own food and drinks, which made everything so easy and relaxed. Everyone was incredibly helpful, and we couldn’t have been happier. We absolutely loved the party and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a children’s celebration!”

β€œVisited today for a Christmas play date. Decorating cookies, making snow globes and soft play. My son had a great time. We was given a little gift to take home to. The two young ladies were very good with the children. The only downfall is there is very few tables and chairs. However it won’t stop me from revisiting and I will indeed be returning.”
