Looking for free entertainment for young children? The soft play area inside Fishergate Shopping Centre offers a simple answer. It’s a safe and engaging space for children under six to interact and enjoy themselves, allowing grown-ups a short rest.

Easy to Find and Use

Situated on the ground level, next to the café seating area, the play zone is at the heart of the centre. Parents and guardians can relax with a coffee while the children play within sight. All amenities are only steps away.

Clean, Calm, and Secure

Soft flooring, toddler-sized structures, and regular upkeep make this a well-managed play space. The environment is maintained to a high standard. Children must be supervised by an adult — it’s not a drop-off service.

Active Play During Shopping Trips

Tired legs and long queues test patience. This soft play area lets them release energy mid-visit. That often means better moods later on.

Making Shopping Centres More Family-Oriented
