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

Right Where You Need It

Situated on the ground level, adjacent to the café seating area, the play zone is ideally positioned. Parents and guardians can sit close by while the children play within sight. All amenities are only steps away.

Child-Friendly and Supervised

Soft flooring, gentle equipment, and regular upkeep make this a trustworthy play space. The environment is clean and orderly. Children must be supervised by an adult — it’s not a drop-off service.

Active Play During Shopping Trips

Shopping centres aren’t always child-friendly. This soft play area lets them release energy mid-visit. That often means better moods later on.

Making Shopping Centres More Family-Oriented

Fishergate’s play zone makes the shopping centre more accessible to families. For adults, there’s less need to plan separate outings for errands and play. For shops, it helps retain footfall without adding cost to the visitor.

Rain-Proof Play in Central Preston
