From Cornwall to Cumbria, England is full of brilliant places where kids can run wild, jump high, and burn off all that boundless energy. Whether you're planning a weekend treat, looking for a rainy-day hero, or just need a break while they scramble about, we’ve rounded up the best independent soft play centres, trampoline parks, and indoor activity spots across the country.

We love a good local gem – and there are so many dotted across England. These family-run venues often go the extra mile: fun themes, friendly staff, spotlessly clean play zones, and cracking coffee for grown-ups. Plus, they support the community and offer something different from the big chains.
