McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Swindon has opened a new play area backed by a £450,000 investment.

The 6,000 sqft play space is designed to spark the imaginations of children aged 2-12, with a capacity for 50 children at a time.

The designed area features train-themed elements that pay homage to Swindon’s rich railway heritage, alongside engaging sensory and educational activities, including sound tubes and puzzles.

Located in the same space as before, the new opening will offer an incredible and playful setting free for everyone to enjoy.

Featuring multiple trains to climb and play with, sound tubes, sensory floor with bright colours, educational puzzles and more, all on one accessible level.

The ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by the winning class from a special 'Design Your Own Play Area' competition held with Even Swindon Art School, involving Year 2, 3, and 4 students.

These young designers were the ones to cut the ribbon, and were able to witness their ideas come to life and participate in the official opening.
