GetSoftPlay

Soft Play Equipment Supplier for the UK

GetSoftPlay supplies UK soft play centres, trampoline parks and family entertainment venues with custom-built playground structures manufactured in Turkey, one of the world's leading soft play production hubs. Every frame, panel and foam element is built to the EN 1176 standard that UK inspectors and insurers expect, and shipped with full export documentation.

Typical projects land between $180 and $500 per m2 installed — see our cost guide for a detailed breakdown.

The United Kingdom market

The UK is one of Europe's most mature indoor play markets. Play equipment is expected to comply with EN 1176 (adopted in the UK as BS EN 1176), and most operators arrange an independent post-installation inspection before opening — a step reputable manufacturers welcome and build for.

Typical UK venues include dedicated soft play centres in retail and industrial units, play areas inside pubs and garden centres, church and community halls, and toddler zones within larger trampoline or adventure parks. The pub-and-play and garden-centre segments are distinctly British: relatively compact footprints (100–300 m2) with strong emphasis on sightlines for supervising parents and a café anchor.

Since many UK operators lease their premises, mezzanine-friendly modular designs and structures that can be dismantled and relocated at lease end are a common request. Ceiling height in converted industrial units (often 4–6 m) usually allows for 2–3 play levels.

Logistics and installation

Sea freight from Turkey to UK ports such as Felixstowe or London Gateway typically takes around 2 weeks, following a 2–4 week manufacturing period. Since Brexit, UK imports are cleared separately from the EU; import duties and VAT treatment vary by product classification, and your manufacturer's export team handles the commercial invoice, packing list and conformity documentation.

Installation crews travel from the factory in Turkey and complete on-site assembly in roughly 3–7 days depending on project size. Operators normally arrange site access, forklift availability and a cleared floor; the crew brings tooling and completes handover with a walkthrough.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply EN 1176-compliant equipment for the UK?

Yes. All structures are engineered to EN 1176 (BS EN 1176 in the UK), and we supply the material and conformity documentation your independent post-installation inspector will ask for.

How long does delivery to the UK take?

Plan for 2–4 weeks of manufacturing plus roughly 2 weeks of sea freight to a UK port, then customs clearance and inland haulage. Most UK projects go from order to opening in 6–10 weeks.

Who installs the equipment in the UK?

An installation team travels from the factory and assembles the structure on site, typically over 3–7 days. You provide site access and a cleared floor; the crew handles the rest and hands over with a full walkthrough.
