🧻👻 ONE MINUTE. ONE TOILET ROLL. ONE VERY UNLUCKY ADULT. LET THE HALLOWEEN CHAOS BEGIN! 🤣🎃

Honestly, we CANNOT WAIT for our Halloween Fright Night! Last year was absolutely hilarious, and we’re ready to do it all over again! 👻😂

🧻 FIRST UP… WRAP THE MUMMY!

Each family gets a toilet roll, picks their unsuspecting adult and has just ONE MINUTE to wrap them up like a mummy! ⏰🤣

The results last year were comedy GOLD… and we have a feeling this year will be just as funny! 😂

But that’s just ONE of our games! 👀👇

🌧️ Walking Wednesday? Not in this weather, mate! We’re not made of sugar, but we’re not daft either! 😂

With all this rain, why get soaked on a walk when you can swap the puddles for soft play, the soggy socks for a cosy cuppa, and the great outdoors for our bar and restaurant?

Come and join us instead! The little ones can burn off some energy while you enjoy a bit of peace (or at least try to 😉).

🎈 No need to book – just turn up!

Soft play prices:
👶 Under 4s – £6
🧒 5 and over – £8

And did you know our soft play has extra-long opening hours this week?

⏰ Thursday: Open until 8pm
⏰ Friday: 9am–9pm
⏰ Saturday: 10am–9pm

So ditch the soggy walk and come have some fun with us! 🥰

🎉 HALF TERM: SEND THE KIDS OUR WAY… SAVE YOUR SANITY! 😂

Happy Tuesday 😍

School’s out, your house has turned into a zoo, the kids have eaten everything in sight and you’ve heard “I’m bored!” more times than you can count? 🤪

Fear not, parents… we’re here to take one for the team! Bring those little bundles of chaos down to us, let them run wild in soft play, fill them up with some proper tasty food, and enjoy a well-earned cuppa (or something a little stronger at the bar!). You’ve earned it! 😉🍻
