The Addy is a charity funded, open access, adventure playground , with play at its core. First set up in 1972 by parents in a pit community that wanted a safe space for their children to play, fast-forward to now and this is pretty much our ethos today! It's all about feeling free, child-led adventure, discovery, learning through play. Every visit will feel like a whole new adventure...run wild, build dens, get cosy around our campfire & toast a marshmallow, make a pizza in the pizza oven, jump from the jumping tower, whizz down the zipline, make friends. Immerse in nature and enjoy childhood the old-fashioned way, no screens just pure hands-on, feel-good stuff - you can't beat it! Our high energy, fun filled sessions are supported by dedicated, qualified Playworkers. Our unique, beautiful space caters to all ages and abilities - there is something for everyone!
Remember to wear your playing out clothes!!
