New adventure playground

We are thrilled to be installing a TouchWood natural playground that will be heaps of fun and fully interactive for families in the years to come.

TouchWood is renowned for their custom-made, natural playgrounds that are both engaging and beautifully designed.

Work began in January 2026 and you can follow the progress through this photo gallery.
