Shambala 2025

Playtopia

Shambala children unite!  Join us in Playtopia!

Built by big children and populated by all sorts of wonderfully creative creatures.  There’s a huge amount of fun and adventure to be had from 9 – 5 Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Back again is The Adventure Play Pavilion, it’s our own wild take on a sort of fun house meets adventure playground, and it’s freshly designed and built each year.

Check Mate!  We are honoured to have Chesstival back for a second year. Learn the game, get some top tips, challenge a friend or join the daily speed chess competitions.

Our good friends the totally awesome Super Pirates will be back, a gang of play pro’s ready to lead you in bouncy games on their giant inflatable rings and have some huge dance offs.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Playtopia without the Big Top Mania tent with an astonishing line up of entertainment.  We’ll have world class circus shows, rock n roll legend Kid Carpet, a beautiful bubble show, a very funny and rude Pirate Show and a lot more besides.

If it’s all too much you can escape into the Regulation Station.  A space to relax, decompress and stimulate your senses.

We’ve got tents popping at the seams with arty and creative activities to get stuck into, including the ‘Into the Woods‘ tent where all the creations are nature based.

The Chango Music tent is here of course and packed with music making, dance and crazy fun.

Toddlers are spoiled with our huge play area from Traveller Space and the Toddle Inn, with free play on a giant scale. Join in with the dancing, singing, making, painting, giant soft play and some mini house building!

There’s a list of fun things happening that’s so long it can’t even be written down, but it does include giant inflatables, bubbles galore, trampolines and loads more.
