Playtown

Playtown

We're thrilled to bring you Playtown, an immersive indoor playscape designed around discovery, learning and adventure.

The Exhibition Hall in the historic Carriage Works has been transformed into an engaging zone-based playscape.

There are lots of different areas to Playtown. You'll find...

- The Station. Role play area with dressing up clothes, food, luggage and cleaning materials.

- Village Green. Lots of different games, such as skittles, connect four, jenga, hoops, bean bags and targets and quoits.

- Young Drivers Zone. Practise driving with the sit-on tractors and diggers, use cones to set out a course.

- Build it! Construction Site. There’s mini high vis and hard hats, wheelbarrows and lots and lots of foam bricks – and a little skip.

- Art School. Develop design and building skills with sand and smaller construction toys. Draw your designs first on the easels. There is a roll of paper on each easel – adults can tear off their child’s picture to take home. Coloured pencils and a sharpener here too.

- Quiet area. We have a sensory den and some fidget toys for anyone needing a quieter space.

This event is completely free of charge and is aimed at under-7's, although everyone is welcome to come and enjoy!

Parents are responsible for their children within the play area.
