What is this place?

Partyman World of Play is a soft-play centre in Upminster. It runs free dedicated SEND sessions on selected dates, and they are completely free for the whole family, with no advance booking required and no stated age limit. On Sunday mornings the 9:00–10:00am hour is exclusive to SEND-session families; the venue then opens to the general public at 10:00am, and SEND-session families are welcome to stay until 11:00am. Selected Thursday evening sessions are fully exclusive, with the venue closed to the general public. To attend, families bring one of the accepted forms of eligibility evidence: a DLA letter, an Access Card or a Blue Badge. During the dedicated sessions the music is played more quietly (lighting can't be adjusted, for health-and-safety reasons), and closed party rooms can be used as a quiet space. There is a step at the entrance, but staff can put out a portable ramp when required — contact the venue before travelling if you need ramp access. There's an accessible toilet and a baby-changing area, and accessible parking; the soft-play frame itself isn't wheelchair accessible, and a registered Changing Places toilet isn't confirmed. Dates change — check the current programme before travelling.
