Hands down our favourite play area, it is 100% the cleanest play area in south Yorkshire. My kids love it here, absolutely perfect for toddlers to play safely unlike some of the bigger play areas. Andy and Steph are amazing at what they do, fab with the kids and put on wonderful parties 🥳
We celebrated our son 4th birthday at The Play Village and it was absolutely incredible! Andy and Steph went above and beyond — everything was organised to perfection and ran so smoothly. They really do run a tight ship. It’s not just soft play - they did hot food and entertainment that kept every child (and parent!) happy from start to finish. Our little boy had the best time and is already asking to have his 5th birthday party there. All our friends commented on how amazing it was. We can’t recommend The Play Village highly enough!
My daughter had her 6th birthday party there this morning. Such a good play area. So clean, the lady and man that run it were so accommodating and the games they played, the kids loved it! The food was brill also, defo recommend for parties or just to come and play!
First time we have visited play village christmas event. My 3 year old grandson absolutely loved it and it is by far the best santa he has ever seen. I would definitely recommend especially to anyone with a child who is hesitant with santa. We will be back again next year. Thank you everyone at play village x
The lady and man that run the place are super welcoming and lovely - they definitely make the place. The soft play itself is just ok really, I’ve been to better soft plays but it’s ok to let the littles run around for a bit. Well priced too at £5.95 for an adult and toddler.
