Inspired by the Hamlet’s history, this new timber-framed Play Area has been designed especially for children aged 3 to 8. With lots of opportunity to climb, play and imagine, it’s the perfect chance to burn off some energy – and surrounded by picnic tables, there’s plenty of chance for grown ups to enjoy a welcome a sit down too!
The Pay Area is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and thanks to National Lottery players.
Everything we do is made possible by you – please donate £5 to help safeguard and celebrate Sheffield’s rich, unique heritage
Opening Times:
