Play Barn FAQs
How much is it to take my child into the Play Barn?
0-6 months go free, 6-12 months are £2.50 and 1-11 years are £8.50 during peak times (£6.50 during off peak)
Do you have to pay for adults?
One adult can go free with each paying child ticket. If you have more adults than children in your party, additional adults are £2.50 each
What is classed as peak and off peak times?
Peak times: weekends, Bank Holidays and school holidays (Northumberland & Tyne & Wear)
Off peak: weekdays during term times
What are the age limits for the Play Barn?
The Play Barn is aimed for children up to and including 11 year olds
How long do I get in the Play Barn?
Sessions are 2 hours long and there are three sessions a day from: 9:30-11:30am, 12-2pm and 2:30-4:30pm
Do you have to book the Play Barn or can I just walk in?
During peak times, like school holidays and weekends, we recommend booking as if a session is full then we won't be allowing any walk ins. If a session isn't at full capacity there is a likelihood we will accept a few walk ins, but this isn't always guaranteed.
Why is the last session on a Sunday cheaper / shorter?
We have to close the Play Barn at 4pm on Sundays, therefore the last session is 45 minutes shorter than all of the other sessions.
The price is therefore cheaper to reflect the shorter session.
Can I go onto the soft play with my child if they require extra assistance?
Yes, you're more than welcome to go onto the frame with your child if they're a little wobbly on their feet or require extra assistance
I can no longer make my booked session, what do I do?
If you can no longer make your booked session, we require at least a days notice. Bookings are non-refundable but we are more than happy to move this to an alternative date/time for you. Please email us on support@brocksbushes.co.uk and someone will be in touch.
What do I do if my child has an allergy?
Please inform a member of staff as soon as you arrive if your child has an allergy. All food is made and prepped in a kitchen that handles gluten, dairy and nuts.
Will you be offering birthday parties in the Play Barn?
We are currently finalising our birthday party packages. These will be available to view and book very shortly.
Do you offer private SEN sessions?
We are currently finalising our packages for private hire of the Play Barn for things like SEN sessions. These should be available to view shortly.
