About Playmania

Playmania is a multi-level adventure play area with a huge selection of slides, plus tunnels, ball pits and other classic play features, plus 2 party rooms, and a disco room.

Located in a fantastic heritage building, the equipment is designed to be suitable for children from 0 to 11 (1.4m height restriction). Because we allow such big kids in there's naturally a separate tots' area to keep the small one safe too.

Affordable day out!
We tend to be a more affordable play centre in comparison to other play centres in the area.
All our entry fees are a set price, no matter what the day is like!
Characters and Parties
We have many character appearences throughout the year, along with bookable birthday parties with characters too!
Our parties are very popular as they are the best value for money. We have a large range of different packages to offer which means there is something for everyone!
More than just a play centre!
Through the week during term time, we have a range of activities throughout the day for babies and toddlers, then in the afternoon we have more older children based activities too.
