What it’s like
Soft play split by age, with a soccer area and disco corner to burn through a 110-minute session.
The soft play here is split properly by age, so a toddler isn't getting flattened by a seven-year-old barrelling through. There's a toddler area, a separate under-4s soft play, and a bigger frame for 4 to 11s, plus a soccer area and a disco spot that's clearly the bit that gets the shrieking going.
Weekday visits outside school holidays are a genuinely good deal at £2.50 a child. Weekends and holidays cost more, £5.40 for 1 to 4s and £6.40 for 5 to 11s, and that's when the venue also runs timed sessions of 110 minutes rather than letting you stay all day. Under-1s go free on weekdays but there's a £2 charge for them at weekends and in the school holidays, which catches some parents out if they're used to the free weekday rate.
Food-wise there's a snack bar with a decent stretch of options and allergy choices, though you can't bring your own in aside from a birthday cake. Both the main play area and toilets are wheelchair accessible.
If you're thinking about a party, the standard option runs £6 to £9 a child depending on the day, there's a laser tag party at £12 a child, and bigger bookings can go for a class offer party (£140 weekday, £160 weekend for up to 30) or a full exclusive hire at £275 for 30. Worth knowing that older siblings over 11 can come in as an adult but won't be allowed into the soft play itself.

Can the venue close early unexpectedly?
It can close early for private parties or special events, so it's a good idea to call ahead if you're planning a specific time.
