Wacky Warehouse - Needle & Awl
Rushden, NorthamptonshireAbout Wacky Warehouse - Needle & Awl
Kick back with free Wi-Fi while the kids throw themselves into safe, imaginative play at the Wacky Warehouse Needle and Awl! Kids can embark on an indoor adventure, filled with slides, rope bridges, soft play obstacles, and a large play structure. And for the smaller kids? There is an enclosed toddler zone for under 3s that offers all the same thrills on a smaller level.
Things to do
Revel in physical, social and imaginative play while you tackle slides, tunnels, balls and bridges with plenty more! The kids will be busy for hours racing each other around the play frame or rehearsing their latest rendition of Repunsel from the top of the climbing frame.
Naturally, the main frame for the older kids is much bigger, but visibility is still good throughout from the seating area and disabled access to parents' areas is good. Your sprogs will be safe and happy, so don't worry!
And the fun isn't just restricted to indoor play either! This Wacky Warehouse at the Needle & Awl pub in Rushden also has an outdoor play area too. So whatever the weather, come rain or shine, it's the perfect place to unleash your inner explorer and go wild!
Whatever the age of your little monsters there is something for all of them with a designated area for tots, multiple slides, a large ball pool, lots of obstacles and arts & crafts.
The arts and crafts sessions offer the perfect opportunity to get messy and have fun so make sure to bring a spare change of clothes! There's no pre-booking offered as it's informal so just drop in. Supervision and all materials are included in this activity.
Birthday parties are welcomed here, with several options plus complimentary WiFi means any (or all) of you can use a tablet too.
For a day of family fun, head to the Wacky Warehouse - Need & Awl!
Food & Drink
Need to recharge those batteries? Whether you are catching up on some well-needed 'me time' while your kids play or you want to relax altogether, the cafe is the perfect place to refuel.
