360 Stevenage re-opens to welcome local families for some safe smiles.
May the 17th was a happy day at 360 Play in Stevenage for customers and staff. This leading local leisure attraction closed its doors along with the rest of the town’s hospitality businesses back December last year with the hope it would only be a few weeks before they could reopen. Five months later and in line with stage 3 of the road map 360 Play finally got to welcome back many local families for some well overdue fun and play.
“The coronavirus has had deep and wide impacts on the regions, our families and many of the local hospitality businesses that serve them. Some of the most impacted and yet least talked about are our children. As a father of two boys, I have seen some of the impacts this latest lockdown has had on them which is why I am so pleased we can open up our attraction in stage 3 for local families to be able to come and enjoy some play time without screens. “ Founder and Manging Director Duncan Phillips.
Local Stevenage Mum Albie and her son when visiting 360 play on its first day back open said “He’s been so excited to finally come back Its all he’s spoken about since I’ve told him we are coming, I’m glad soft plays are finally open”
360 Centre Manager Rosie Barker said “The second lock down has been very hard on many of our staff and so we are really pleased to be able to get back to doing what we love here at 360, and hopefully put some smiles back on our customers faces. We will keep in place our covid safe operating procedures and be limiting numbers while we steadily emerge from the latest lockdown. I have really missed seeing the centre full of life over the last few months so I and all the team are loving the noise our first customers are making with us today.”
Founder Duncan Phillips, started the business to give families like his own a place where they could all play together. Utilising hands-on creative play environments, physically active play settings and skills based play attractions the centre encourages intergenerational active play in a more traditional way encouraging adults to spend time playing with their children and having fun too.
