A brand-new soft play area is coming to Crate Walthamstow within 17 & Central this September. Play Central will be opening with a soft launch on Monday 9 September where kids can enjoy an hour of play at a discounted rate. There will also be a very special launch party on Saturday 14 September.

Conveniently located in Crate Walthamstow, the new soft play area offers an exciting experience for kids of all ages, with plenty of fun activities to keep them entertained for hours.

More than just a soft play area, Play Central is a community hub where families can connect, make new friends, and feel part of a local network. The new area will offer affordable family outings, with tasty food options to cater to everyone, from kid-friendly meals to snacks that parents will love. There will also be exclusive events, competitions and giveaways to make every visit a memorable experience.

To celebrate launch week, Play Central is offering families the opportunity to enjoy an hour of soft play at a discounted rate of £5 per child. Plus, there’s a special return discount for those that pre-book through Play Central’s booking system, which is launching soon.

The fun continues with a launch party on Saturday 14 September! As well as the special £5 play offer, there will be balloons, a face painter, free tattoos, yummy cupcakes and exclusive giveaways. Plus, Play Central’s gorgeous caterpillar mascot (who’s yet to be named – more on that below…) will make a special appearance! Pre-booking online is essential for the launch party.

There’s also a competition to name the play area’s cute little caterpillar mascot with an amazing prize of six months’ free access to Play Central. It’s simple to enter. Visit the Crate Walthamstow Instagram page @cratewalthamstow, like and save the competition post, comment with your brilliant name suggestion and tag three friends you’d take to Play Central. If multiple people pick the same, winning name, then a winner will be picked at random. The competition closes on Friday 30 August.

“We’re so excited that we have a soft play area coming to Crate Walthamstow,” comments 17 & Central’s Marketing Manager, Gwendolyne Lobo. “At Play Central, we understand what families need – a safe and engaging space where kids can explore, have fun, and learn through play, while parents can relax, knowing their little ones are in a secure and stimulating environment. Come and join us on launch week for a look around our new space and a discounted play.
