Giggle Street

Giggle Street is a children's role play centre on Vanguard Way in Harlescott, Shrewsbury, designed around the idea of imaginative, child-led play through a series of themed zones. Rather than the conventional climbing frames and ball pools found at most soft play venues, the focus here is entirely on creative role play — children can step into different worlds and try on different roles across eight distinct areas within the space.

The zones cover a broad range of scenarios. There's a salon for styling and pampering, a market stall for practising shopping and serving customers, a building site, a veterinary-style area called Happy Paws for caring for toy animals, a mini minds learning zone, a police station, a fire station, and a dedicated sensory room for children who benefit from a calmer, quieter environment. The variety means children of different temperaments and interests tend to find something that engages them, and the sensory room is a thoughtful inclusion for families with children who find busier environments overwhelming.

Sessions run in timed blocks throughout the day, seven days a week, with three slots on weekdays running from 9.30am through to 5.30pm, and slightly earlier start times at weekends. Walk-ins are welcome, though booking ahead is advisable given that sessions can fill up or be affected by private hire. Admission is £10 for children over two, £5 for under twos, with the first accompanying adult free and additional adults charged at £2 each.

Birthday parties can be booked as a full private hire, giving exclusive use of the venue for two hours for up to 25 children at £300. A dedicated party host is included, along with table decorations and a complimentary return visit for the birthday child. For regular visitors, a membership scheme is available through what the venue calls the Iggle Club, with details available on request at reception.

A good choice for: families with toddlers and primary-age children who enjoy imaginative and role play scenarios, as well as those looking for a sensory-friendly environment or a venue for a private children's party in the Shrewsbury area.
