Dickory’s Playhouse is quite frankly a treat for the whole of the family! Well organised, well-spaced, well designed and well located, even dad’s going to appreciate this one.
Here, fun takes place over multiple floors with a powerful ball firing cannon in and around the ball pools, cool trampolines and all the classic components to entertain and exhaust the kids somewhere under one roof!
There’s a social enclosed section just for the little ones, with calmer activity features for them to interact with including soft play areas.
FYI: There is also a toddler morning every morning weekdays during term time when there are some led and varied activities on offer in addition to the facilities, give them a cool to find out more: 0121 443 3939.
