Last Thursday evening it was announced that soft plays in England could reopen after lockdown. There are several soft plays around Gloucestershire and the neighbouring countries... i.e. around Cheltenham, Stroud, Bourton, Evesham and so I thought I'd compile a list of who is reopening and when... something I hope you find useful.
** I will continually update this post as soft plays open and announce opening **** Shares of this post are much appreciated if you do find this useful - thank you! **
Some are quite rightly taking time to understand and implement the new rules and others have been very quiet and some have already announced they have shut down... so who's said what?
I will update this post regularly, so do pop me a comment, or message on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) if you spot any new updates, thank you.Which soft plays are reopening?

Soft Play which are not reopening...
Unfortunately back in May, due to covid-19 and lockdown Winchcombe Fun House announced it will not be reopening, which is such a shame as we absolutely loved it there, and Little G's appears to have disappeared online.
