Edinburgh soft play with three storey climbing frame and cafe to open next month
A new soft play featuring a three-storey climbing frame will open its doors in West Lothian next month after securing £80,000 in funding.
Opening in Bathgate, Sandcastle Soft Play will feature structured and free play areas, with dedicated zones tailored to different age groups. The soft play will also include a café serving fresh food and a range of hot and cold drinks for parents, carers, and children.
Co-owners Susan Donald and Barry Irvine said the new venue will also create six new jobs.
Susan said: "As a parent of three young children, I understand how important it is to have a warm, safe space for families. Our hope is that this soft play centre becomes a vibrant part of the local community. This funding has provided us with a significant opportunity to invest in a high quality large climbing frame as well as access to brilliant support from HSBC UK throughout our business’s journey. “
Laura Anne Robertson, portfolio manager at HSBC UK, said: " We’ve loved supporting Susan and Barry in bringing Sandcastle Soft Play to life. It’s inspiring to see two ambitious and passionate individuals creating a welcoming space for children and families in the community. We look forward to the centre opening soon and to supporting their exciting plans for future growth."
Sandcastle Soft Play opens next month at 67b Whitburn Road, Bathgate, EH48 1HE.
