Stockeld Park's Playhive wins national indoor play award

Friday, 20 June 2025 14:19

The Playhive at Stockeld Park has won a national indoor play award.

Stockeld Park's popular indoor play area has won a national award for a second consecutive year.

Stockeld Park's 'Playhive' has won an Association of Indoor Play (AIP) Award, taking home the title of Best Indoor Play Centre over 20,000 sq ft.

The award was announced at a prestigious ceremony held at the Royal Armouries in Leeds on Thursday 5th June, bringing together the UK’s leading innovators and operators in the indoor play sector.

This marks the second consecutive AIP award for Stockeld Park, having won in 2024 for Best Indoor Play Centre over 12,000 sq ft.

Unveiled in 2022, The Playhive is one of Europe’s largest indoor play centres, attracting over 250,000 visitors annually.

The space features four imaginative and interconnected adventure zones, jungle, sea, space, and air, and features towering walkways, spiralling tunnel slides, interactive games, and a separate toddler play area.

Maria Cantarella, CEO of the Association of Indoor Play, said:

“This year’s theme — Shaping a Resilient Future — couldn’t be more fitting.

"From inclusive design to SEND-friendly environments, sustainability to culinary creativity, our industry is not just recovering — it’s setting global benchmarks.

“These winners exemplify what it means to lead with passion, purpose, and ingenuity.”

Peter Grant, owner of Stockeld Park, said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to have been recognised as the UK’s best indoor play venue for the second year in a row.

“The Playhive is a unique play area that we are incredibly proud of and I would like to thank everyone who has made this possible.”
