Hobbledown takes home national award for Best Indoor Play
We’ve done it! Hobbledown Epsom has been officially crowned Best Indoor Play Centre (10,000–20,000 sqft) at the 2025 Association of Indoor Play Awards.
The awards ceremony, held at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, brought together the UK’s top indoor play operators — and we’re absolutely thrilled to have come out on top in one of the night’s most competitive categories.
Boasting two multi-storey themed play frames, role play areas, an i-click motion sensor games and vertical trampolines, every inch of our indoor play area is designed to spark imagination and adventure.
There's also a gated toddler area complete with sensory lights, mirrors and a mini play frame, meaning there’s something for every young adventurer — come rain or shine.
Helen Bull, CEO of The Escapade Group, said: “This award is a real testament to the creativity and care that goes into everything we do at Hobbledown. The team has worked incredibly hard to create a space that’s imaginative, inclusive and genuinely fun — and it’s fantastic to see that recognised at a national level.”
The theme of this year’s awards was Shaping a Resilient Future — and Hobbledown Epsom couldn’t be prouder to be recognised as part of the future of indoor play.
Maria Cantarella, CEO of the Association of Indoor Play, said: “This year’s theme - Shaping a Resilient Future — couldn’t be more fitting. From inclusive design to SEND-friendly environments, sustainability to culinary creativity, our industry is not just recovering — it’s setting global benchmarks. These winners exemplify what it means to lead with passion, purpose, and ingenuity.
