About Hocus Pocus Play

Do your little ones have a great imagination? Hocus Pocus Play in Fairford is a sensory play centre, that will engage little brains from just a few months old to around 6 or 7 years!

The Hocus Pocus Play magic can be found in our unique play designs, gorgeous Cotswold countryside decor and the many many interactive elements designed to stimulate and engage your child's growing brain and imagination.

Your mini explorers will have loads of fun things to discover at Hocus Pocus Play, there are puzzles to solve and buttons to press that’ll make cool sounds and change the light colour. There’s even a bouncy trampoline and roundabout to burn off some energy.  There’s a gorgeous garden outdoors with a lovely lake view, so if the weather is nice you can soak up some sunshine, but if it’s a bit gloomy there’s loads of sensory play fun to be had indoors, what more could one want than bubbles and air jets? 

The most MAGICAL play area in the Cotswolds

We are often reviewed as the most enchanting play experience in the Cotswolds, offering something very unique to our little explorers.

From our indoor forest themed play setting, complete with bubble tubes, secret passageways, treehouse, story den and many many interactive toys, cogs and ball games...to our enclosed lakeside play garden with a large covered sandpit, teepees and plenty of shaded seating. We offer a relaxed and visually stimulating setting that's perfect for nurturing young imaginations!

On site cafe serving a gorgeous fresh menu!

The Magic Beans Cafe boasts a menu of breakfast, brunch and lunch favourites with regular specials. We also have a well-stocked ice cream counter and a licensed bar.

SEN Friendly Quiet Sessions

Our Thursday PM sessions in term time have reduced capacity and are a firm favourite with our SEN families, offering a quieter play session.
