Indoor Play

An exhilarating play experience for your dog!

Our 2000 square foot facility boasts an array of engaging activities, from play equipment to climb on and run through, to interactive toys (and, of course, space to run and play), all chosen carefully to provide maximum fun for your dogs.

Our experienced staff are on hand to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment, allowing you to watch your dogs thrive.

Warm in the winter and cool in the summer, with a range of hot and cold refreshments for the humans, our indoor play facility is the ultimate weatherproof haven.

We offer private hire and group sessions to cater for everyone. Whether your dog is reactive and needs their own space, or your puppy is in need of socialisation and enjoys playing with other puppies, our booking options gives you flexibility and choice of whether to go for a breed specific or age specific group session.

Join us in creating unforgettable memories for your dogs, promoting socialisation and exercise in a secure and fun environment.
