Parents in Preston often look for easy and entertaining options to keep children engaged. The soft play area at Fishergate Shopping Centre ticks all the boxes. It's designed for young children to play, move and interact while adults take a breather.

At the Heart of the Shopping Hub

Located conveniently on the ground floor, the play area is right by the café seating section, ideal for those needing a quick break. The surrounding amenities, including shops and food options, are all just steps away.
