📢 Monkey Town, the European indoor family entertainment brand operated by Dutch leisure group 24 Indoor, has confirmed that a highly anticipated new indoor play and family entertainment venue will open at Cherryfield Drive, Kirkby, in September 2026.

✅ Designed to cater for children of all ages, the venue will feature a dedicated under-3s play zone complete with interactive ball pools, building block areas, slides and sensory play features focused on creativity and early development. Older children will be able to explore a large jungle-themed adventure area featuring crawl tubes, climbing structures, interactive challenges, the brand’s signature Volcano slide experience and the thrilling “Walk of Faith” feature.

🥳 Additional attractions will include an interactive sports pitch, immersive gaming pixel floor with multiple game modes, and a multi-level laser arena set within dramatic UV-themed surroundings. The venue will also include family dining facilities and a comprehensive birthday party offering, ranging from value-focused class parties through to exclusive private hire experiences.

✅ Monkey Town says the Kirkby development has been designed with accessibility and affordability at its core, with a commitment to offering competitively priced family entertainment for the local community. The venue will also introduce a pay-once, stay-all-day model with no fixed time slots, giving families greater flexibility and removing the pressure often associated with timed play sessions.

It was lovely to attend the coffee morning at Court Hey Methodist Church this morning and spend time chatting with residents, volunteers and members of our local community. ☕️

Community spaces like this are so important in bringing people together, reducing isolation and creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone.

A big thank you to everyone involved in organising such a lovely morning.
