‘The Fleet Playhouse’… it may sound like an elegant ArtDeco building, but this is a theatre of imagination and activity for two active young boys.
They can scramble up the climbing wall, using different routes each time, and wriggle in through the “secret” entry; they can shin their way up the knotted rope like a pirate; they could even just use the sturdy steps.
Once inside the raised den, they have lookout points to spot incoming enemies / parents, and a bench on which to plan their escape by any route, including the slide.
Underneath is the galley / strategy board, with the bespoke Foxwood mudkitchen crafted from salvaged packing case timber. This great play-value piece has twin taps, an oven with ‘grill shelf’, and three hobs, all with twiddle-factor knobs to simulate setting cooking temperatures. Here they can “feed” the troops and plot out on the chalkboard their next campaign of fun and active play.
