A world-first immersive, interactive play experience for young children is to open on Weston-super-Mare seafront this May.

Described as a combination of escape room style activity, theatre and role play, ‘Little Town Adventures’ is a miniature recreation of the town and includes its own grand pier, town hall, cinema, vets, police station, fire station, supermarket, and café.

To make it as realistic and immersive as possible many of the buildings are up to 5 metres high and will have multiple storeys allowing children to explore both the lower and upper floors. The experience will feature actors, scripts, music and immersive effects.

The new attraction is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Tom and Laura Filer, who own and operate award-winning soft play venues and children's nurseries across the South West and the Midlands.

“We could not be more excited to be launching our next innovative leisure venue in Weston-super-Mare and are this time bringing a world-first play concept to market following the success of our multi-award-winning Ocean and Space Adventurers venues,” said Laura Filer.

“The combination of role play, theatre, and escape room-style activities enhances cognitive development, social skills, and creativity, making it an exciting, truly holistic and educational adventure for children.

“Little Town Adventures will be an innovative fully immersive miniature Weston-super-Mare putting learning and fun at the centre of the experience,” she added.

Designed to provide entertaining and varied challenges to children from two-to-eight-years-old, the mini-town features dozens of different scripts to provide an unparalleled variety of challenges for children.

Live actors will help bring the stories to life as the children help the deputy mayor to solve a series of interactive challenges around the town.

Each of the scripts which have been written and developed by a specialist theatrical company are tailored to specific age groups, times of year and interests and has been carefully crafted to engage young minds, offering a diverse range of scenarios that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.

The award-winning Family Adventures Group was founded in 2019 by Laura and Tom after their own, often negative, experiences of visiting soft play centres with their young family.

The couple realised there was a significant gap in the market for high quality, fun, educational, clean indoor play venues which could be enjoyed by both children and adults.

Today in addition to Little Town Adventures, the group owns and operates indoor play venues Ocean Adventurers in Cheddar and Space Adventurers in Taunton along with six Little Adventures Nurseries & Pre-School Group.
