The UK has seen a surge in indoor recreational spaces, including trampoline parks, Ninja Warrior courses, and soft play centres. Since the first indoor trampoline parks opened in 2014, over 150 have sprung up, becoming popular for children’s parties, clubs, and corporate events. Inspired by the ITV show, Ninja Warrior courses have also emerged in major cities, offering physical obstacle courses for children and teenagers. Soft play centres, known for their slides, ball pits, and play areas, provide year-round fun for babies, toddlers, and children, making them ideal for family meet-ups and parties.
The Playcraft Group, based in South Wales, stands out in this industry with 40 years of experience in children’s play and 25 years in play centre attractions. They offer comprehensive services, from design and manufacturing to installation and maintenance of various play facilities, including trampoline parks, climbing walls, and adventure playgrounds. Their high-profile clients include Disney, Land Rover, and Cartoon Network. The company emphasises inclusivity, designing wheelchair-friendly soft play sections and sensory spaces to support neurodiverse children.
