Caregivers around Preston frequently need child-friendly and free options to keep children engaged. The soft play area at Fishergate Shopping Centre offers just that. It's designed for the under-sixes to burn off energy safely while adults sit back.

Centrally Located and Easy to Reach

Placed right on the ground floor, the play area is just beside the café seating section, making it easy for parents to relax. The surrounding amenities, like cafés and toilets, are all just steps away.

Designed with Children in Mind
