About

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.”

- Albert Einstein

Once Upon a Time is a magical role play village designed to bring fairy tales to life. With a beautifully designed story themed village, children can explore in the company of some of their favourite story characters and let their imagination soar.

 

Founded and created by a book loving primary teacher, Once Upon a Time has the magic of imagination at its very heart, with every aspect designed to inspire and create a space where anything is possible.

 

Shop alongside your child in Granny’s Groceries or find a story to read at the Beanstalk book shop, there’s something for everyone.

 

With our secured site and open plan play area, Once Upon a Time has been created to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.

 

Our café provides snacks, light meals and drinks for both children and adults, sourcing items from small local businesses where possible.

 

Play sessions will run at set times each day and can be booked through our website. Each session will have limited spaces, meaning that online booking is essential.
