Hocus Pocus Play

Description

Hocus Pocus Play is a unique interactive play venue in Fairford, designed to encourage sensory, educational, and imaginative play. Unlike traditional soft play centres, it offers thoughtfully designed spaces that inspire creativity and exploration. The venue provides a calm, welcoming environment for children and a relaxing space for parents and carers.

Children can explore imaginative play areas such as the fairy tale house, cave, and woodland settings, along with sensory features including lights, colours, sounds, air jets, and bubbles. There are also interactive puzzles, ball mazes, and buttons that change lighting and sound effects. Parents can enjoy seating areas indoors or relax in the garden with lake views, with food and drinks available from Magic Beans Café.

Pricing is session-based: babies under 6 months £2.00 weekdays / £3.00 weekends, 6–11 months £5.00 / £6.00, children 1–3 years £7.00 / £9.00, and children 4+ £8.00 / £10.00. Adults are priced at £3.50 weekdays and £4.00 weekends, and party options range from £17.50 per child for non-exclusive parties to £310–£375 for exclusive private hire packages.

Overall, Hocus Pocus Play offers a calm yet engaging alternative to traditional soft play centres. With a strong focus on imagination, sensory learning, and comfort, it is ideal for younger children. It is a great choice for relaxed play sessions, family visits, and well-organised private parties.

Features

  • Growing brains want to explore, investigate, have imaginative adventures! Hocus Pocus Play is all about encouraging the imagination and using the senses. It’s also about giving parents and carers somewhere to relax and unwind with excellent coffee and delicious food for all the family.
  • Your safety and comfort is our top priority, so we clean the whole place thoroughly after each play session. We have a maximum occupancy to 40 people (adults + children) in the play area, so you know that there is still space for social distancing.
  • There is also the option to book a private play session without other groups if you prefer. All our equipment is designed to get children thinking, imagining and using their senses. There are lots of interactive things to do, sensory equipment to enjoy and different spaces to explore.

Facilities

Food & Drinks: A wide range of food and drink can be purchased from Magic Beans Cafe and consumed in the seating area of Hocus Pocus Play.

What to see

  • Concept: Hocus Pocus Play is a Bit Different to the Majority of Play Areas. We Think of It as Interactive Play Because It Combines Elements of Sensory, Educational, and Imaginative Play to Engage Little Brains.
  • Imagination: The Fairy Tale House, Cave and Woodland Settings Encourage Imagination. Kids Love Making Up Their Own Games in Our Little House.
  • Sensory: Lights, Colours, Sounds, Air Jets, and Bubbles… but Not Too Much at Once.
  • Interactive: Lots to Interact With – Puzzles and Games, Ball Mazes, Buttons to Press to Change the Colours of the Lights and the Sound Effects.
  • Surroundings: In Addition to This We Have Tried to Make the Play Area as Pleasant as Possible for Parents and Carers, With Natural Light, Lots of Seating, and a Great Range of Food and Drink.
