GK Role Play

Let your children's imagination run wild at GK Role Play! This play setting is located in our events chalet - you will be in a magical learning environment where imagination rules. Explore our role play area which includes a market, home, health care centre, fire truck and garage. This is all in one room of our event chalet. Sessions are an hour and fifteen minutes long but the last fifteen minutes will be dedicated to tidy time. Staff may encourage parents and children to tidy up what they have been playing with during this time. _ GK Role Play will be closed in November and December 2026. _ By purchasing tickets or paying for entry, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions: We are pleased to provide this facility and whilst we have attempted to make it as safe as possible, the very nature of children's play activity means that accidents can occasionally happen. We cannot, therefore, accept any responsibility for injury or damage to children or clothing whilst they are using the role-play area. Parental supervision is essential for the entire duration of the play session as it is not supervised by staff. All accidents must be reported to a member of staff to ensure we can provide necessary assistance and record the incident. We have a lot of toys and props, including some small items, so we ask that all young children be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. Food and drink are not permitted in the role-play area.
