Enjoy indoor soft play across two age-specific areas with an on-site café, perfect for children from birth to 10 years old.

The Play Shed is an indoor play and party centre located in Stafford's historic Good Shed, a Grade II listed railway building. The venue offers dedicated play areas designed for children from mobile infants through to 10 years old (or up to 145cm tall), with separate zones for under 3s and over 3s. Each play area features its own car track, providing variety and age-appropriate entertainment for young visitors. The facility boasts a welcoming environment with comfortable seating areas where parents can relax while supervising their children. The venue features floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights allowing natural light throughout, with upstairs balcony seating that overlooks the play areas. Visitors can stay comfortable in any weather—remaining dry on rainy days while enjoying safe viewing areas during sunny weather. The Play Shed Café serves a diverse menu ranging from light snacks and treats to main meals, ensuring families can refuel during their visit. The venue also offers excellent party facilities with three dedicated party areas both upstairs and downstairs, accommodating both large groups and smaller celebrations. Online booking is available and recommended, though walk-in play sessions are accepted subject to availability.

Had my son's 5th birthday party here today 14/06 - absolutely brilliant set up. Food (sandwiches, crisps, sausages, chicken nuggets, cupcakes etc.) went down well with the kids and the staff were so polite and helpful - they really made a difference. It was Eleanor and Maisie who looked after us - made everything run smoothly. Would recommend for sure 👍

My kids have been a few times with their grandparents and it's an absolutely brilliant and fun place to go, lots of activities and a nice cafe and seating area for parents to relax and supervise.

Generally good, but a shame as some toys are broken and have not been repaired or replaced, and others are very worn. See photo below of a cosy coupe car missing its key and steering wheel. Please replace / fix things in future.
