Our parties are great for a mixed age range of children as well as for children of the same age. What is so great about role play is that children of different ages access and explore the play areas at their own level of learning and in their own way. Children's imaginations lead the way!

Our packages include:
▪ Bespoke Pop Up Play Village for your child.
▪ Invite up to 30 children and their families.
▪ Play inside or outside or a mixture of both.
▪ Pop Up Play Village Invitations.
▪ Your Pop Up Play Village host will set up and clean up the village.

To find out more about our party packages, contact your local Pop Up Play Village franchise owner today or direct message this page!

We were rushed to finish set up this morning ahead of the toddlers arriving at Brookvale Toddlers for their end of term treat so we only managed a few photos of some of the set up today. A big thank you to my helpers while I finished setting up the kitchen … much appreciated! If anyone got any pictures of the awesome sunshine’s from the Art Studio I’d love to see some! I forgot to even grab my own to keep as a demo! See you again soon. Erica x

Anyone else relate? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
I just don’t seem to be able to remember my own thoughts recently my head is too full and during a conversation if something pops in my head and then if I try and keep listening I’m struggling because I’m trying to remember my idea by repeating what I want to say over and over, or I’ve lost it! It’s gone… and then I’m frustrated!
Ironically Frank interrupted me while writing this post… I lost my train of thought… but I shared anyway because… you know… I think I’m loosing my mind!!! 😬😂😂😂😂🤪🫣

A fun social in Newbury and I would thoroughly recommend the canal boat trip we did as it’s one I intend to take with the family too… they have pirate days in the summer apparently! High Score Arcade was also lots of fun with everything included once you were inside I think it’s also on my list for the summer holidays!

Social time! Having a great afternoon/ evening with the team!

We have had a few enquiries recently about our wedding packages and so I thought I would pop out a little post to tell you a little bit more about them!
We offer 4 types of wedding package:
💍 Hire of our garden games: delivered in advance and collected the next day for your venue
👶🏻 Nanny service: 1:1 childcare for children at the wedding perhaps the bride and grooms children or another member of the wedding party. This can be a nanny to be with the child during the day or just a babysitter to sit with them when they sleep towards the end of the evening. As little or as much as you need. We will spend time meeting the child in advance if required and make sure we know all their likes and dislikes
🎉 Wedding Entertainment: set up in a corner of the room or a side space that adjoins the celebrations so the children are free to come and go. Our team will keep them entertained, play games, do crafts and engage in play using our role play areas, games, toys and crafts. This can include both indoor or outdoor activities. We can add on extras if required included glitter tattoos and colouring books, extra crafts and prizes for games.
🎉 Wedding Crèche: A full crèche where children are signed in and out of our care in a separate space nearby to the celebrations. We run our crèche to Ofsted ratios and will take care of the children completely so that your guests can relax and unwind and we keep the children busy using our full range of toys and games. We can even provide a quiet space for them to tuck down and sleep when it all gets too much!
✅ Fully DBS checked staff
✅ Paediatric first aid qualified staff
✅ Safeguarding trained staff
✅ Qualified experienced childcare providers

We look forward to making your special day fun for all your little guests so that you can relax and enjoy your day.

Children love role play because they want to be just like you!
It’s simple really, they watch you do the shopping, care for the baby, visit the hairdressers, the doctors or meet friends at the cafe and then in our village they pretend to do the same! The best bit? The older they are the more like you they become! I’ve seen 7, 8 even 10 year olds make awesome mini mes as they become demanding customers, super helpful shop assistants and considerate nursery assistants! If your child loves role play then there is no limit to the age they love our village and our kits can be hired to help immerse them in their play.

Did you know that we have a great selection of giant games that we can add in to your hire? These are used for our wedding set ups most often but are equally popular for kit hire deliveries. Choose from:
Giant connect 4
Giant jenga
Giant snakes and ladders
Quoits
Skittles
Boules
And many more
Games can be hired for up to 24 hours or just for the afternoon if that was preferred.
Drop us a message if you have an event coming up and would like them added to your package.

Have you only recently discovered our village? Where have you been?! We are a local, multi-award winning, husband and wife team who have been running events in the area for the last 6 and a half years. Our role play village is completely flexible and can set up just about anywhere from a show home to a library, a back garden to a community centre you name it and we have probably set up there before! We love the flexibility that our village gives us to fit into a range of spaces and still deliver a quality play experience for your little villagers! Not only that but we are unique in delivering that little bit extra with our Outdoor Explorer sessions that are designed to get children outdoors and exploring their surroundings, learning from nature and immersed in high quality play. Slime making, stick whittling, potion making, messy play, sensory play, bush crafts, bug hunting… we love it! If you are looking for something a little bit different for children’s entertainment with your business, your early years setting or just at home then get in touch and let’s work together to plan something special!

Pop Up Play Village Reading

Welcome to our new page for Pop Up Play Village Reading. We are running play sessions and parties for children from 0-8 years old in and around the Reading area. Our role play village is designed by a qualified teacher to provide high quality play experiences for children that are both educational and fun! Our role play village features a cafe, supermarket, vets surgery, hospital, construction site, baby nursery, library, art studio and outdoor explorers areas. We pop up in village halls, community centres for our play sessions with our ‘real’ cafe providing hot and cold drinks and snacks, all competitively priced. As an Usbourne book seller you will also often see our Usbourne book stall pop up at sessions ready to be browsed.

For our parties we aim to take the hassle out of organising a party with invitations, entertainment, catering and party bags all provided, we even take the photos for you! We can pop up in a hall or even in your garden, if there is space! We can set up a party with our role play village but alternatively with bush craft activities as an outdoor themed party, there is lots of fun to be had!

We are available to be hired by schools, pre-schools and nurseries to run sessions for children and offer to run tailor made sessions or under the topic ‘when I grow up’. Our qualified early years teacher will take the children on a journey of discovery into what jobs adults do and what they involve in our play village.

We also run special Outdoor Explorer sessions focused on outdoor learning and a range of bush craft and nature exploration activities. Our staff can come to your setting and run these sessions on a regular basis. Alternatively we can come to your business and set up activities for your customers as part of our corporate hire packages.
