One of the UK’s leading children’s entertainment centre brands, 360 Play is set to celebrate on October 18 when the company’s Farnborough site marks its first birthday.

Situated in The Meads Shopping Centre in the Hampshire town, the venue proved an instant success with local families with young children when it opened last year. Offering an array of fun, active and creative play opportunities, the new outlet was the sixth 360 Play centre to be opened by the company, which also operates successful venues in Milton Keynes, Stevenage, Leicester, Basildon and Redditch. A seventh venue is due to open later in 2018.

Housed within a 20,000 square feet first floor unit, Farnborough’s 360 Play is the second to be located within a shopping centre. There it functions as a major element of the regeneration of the town centre.

“We are delighted to be celebrating our first full year of operation at 360 Play Farnborough,” says founder Duncan Phillips. “Our centre complements what is a significant retail and leisure destination in the town and we look forward to continuing to contribute to this in the coming years as we entertain an increasing number of young families.”

The attractions at 360 Play Farnborough include a three storey central play frame from SPI Global Play, a dodgem car track and carousel from IE Park/SOLI Bumper Cars and the creative play area 360 Street – a series of play shops and other miniature buildings/businesses.

To help celebrate 360 Play Farnborough’s first birthday the centre will be holding a special competition and an exclusive birthday event during October. For more information on 360 Play and all its UK sites see 360play.co.uk
