Fitting in with this year’s Wordfest theme of ‘Our heritage, our story’, the playground are taking the children right back to the pit days! Since we are situated within an ex-mixing community that was purpose built to house miners from Scotland, Durham and parts of Yorkshire. A huge part of this areas heritage is mining, it has played an integral role in this local community.

Plus lots more!

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!!
