Ravishangar

In 2025, Ravishangar approached Play Creations to create a new soft play for his established grocery store in Lockerbie. Go Local Extra, Lockerbie combines a grocery store with a cafe and deli, creating a space that serves the local community. The store also features arcade games and a dedicated soft play area for children.

Ravishangar wanted the new soft play to feel bright, bold and connected to the existing brand. The available space measured 1,500 sq ft, and the play area needed to suit children aged 0-8. With a £20,000 budget, we needed to create an engaging commercial soft play that made good use of the available space while giving younger children somewhere to play safely. The design needed to work for a wide age range without making the space feel overcrowded. To achieve this, we created separate baby and toddler areas, giving younger children a dedicated place to explore while the main play structure provided more active challenges for older children.

The result is a mix of features that encourage different types of play. Children can explore the Twin Lane Slides, Swinging Buoy and Dizzy Disc, alongside the ball pool, creating plenty of opportunities to climb, move and explore. The bright and bold colour scheme also ties the play area into the wider brand. Once the design was agreed, Play Creations manufactured the equipment specifically for the available space. The made-to-measure design allowed us to use the 1,500 sq ft area efficiently. We manufactured the equipment with durability and everyday commercial use in mind.

We also managed the installation, ensuring the soft play was assembled correctly and ready for use. From the initial design through to manufacturing and installation, we kept the process efficient and cost-effective for the client. As a result, the finished soft play gives Go Local Extra, Lockerbie an additional feature for local families visiting the store. The combination of dedicated baby and toddler areas, active play equipment and the bright brand-led design creates a varied play experience for children aged 0-8.

The wider store has also established itself as a community-focused destination, with a strong focus on serving local customers in store. Since installation, Play Creations has continued to support Ravishangar with ongoing maintenance, helping keep the soft play safe, functional and ready for continued use.
