Read how TouchWood Play created a unique adventure playground for retail space Bicester Village to enhance the visitor experience.
Bicester Village, owned by Value Retail plc, is the UK’s second largest tourist destination after Buckingham…
If you’re operating a retail destination, you’re likely looking for ways to attract more people, enhance the visitor experience and encourage people to stay longer and spend more on-site.
On top of that, you want them to recommend your destination to their friends, share it on social media, and come back again and again.
We’re experienced in creating bespoke, original, sustainable playgrounds that provide youngsters with rich, creative, engaging play. We can help you keep mum and dad coming back year after year.
We know that you don’t want an ‘everyday play space’. Touchwood Playgrounds are special.
We know how to make things unique. Beautiful. Memorable. Instagram-worthy. Something to talk about.
Most things aren’t off the shelf. We constantly innovate, creating new and special features that will make your play equipment truly unique.
Our focus is on natural play. Contact with the wood, water, and sand. Touch. Feel. Explore. Dare. Experiment.
Working with us, you know you are also investing in a sustainable product, supporting creative craftsmanship and using natural materials mostly sourced in the UK.
As a retail location, we know that you likely have a million other irons in the fire, and often you need a playground installed whilst you are open with heavy foot traffic.
We’re used to working safely amongst your customers in precise timeframes, and our experienced team know exactly how to support you with our perfect build process. Throughout the design, manufacture and installation process, we work closely with you to ensure that we can install and sign off your playground to the highest safety standards while making your life as easy as possible.
Since we started in 2002, we’ve grown to the point where many of our projects are for large-scale installations for commercial entities.
That experience has helped us build our processes around our customers. When it comes to retail, we know that you need something that will support you for years to come and have longevity.
Because of that, we work closely with you to design your playground considering play value, dwell time, sustainability, durability and risk. Combining all these factors means enjoying a playground design process that truly works for your location.
Our concept design team can quickly help you explore pricing, themes and play value on a call. Our designs are bespoke and no two are the same. Whether you’re a school or a world class leisure park, we can quickly come up with some ideas to support your project.

Technical design and pre-manufacture; we send technical drawings for you to sign off and we start pre-manufacturing at the wood yard.
Installation and sign-off -with as many pre-manufactured items as possible we install. Then our independent play safety inspector signs off the play area.
