Pop-Up Play Shops on the High Street

Pop-Up Play Shops bring creative, playful spaces to local communities across the UK. Since our first high street experiment in 2013, these temporary play spaces have engaged children and families, developing imaginative play and community connections.

Originally supported with Big Lottery funding, our early projects helped us understand the demand for accessible, temporary play spaces in urban areas. Adrian Voce played a key role in shaping these initiatives, ensuring that each Pop-Up Play Shop met the needs of local communities.

While the initial survey has now closed, we continue to learn from past events and share insights through our ongoing projects. To see examples of previous shops, visit the website.
