Update: As of 22nd April 2026, Play Patch is now open.
2nd April 2026
As you know, we opened up the opportunity to name the Lockleaze soft play to the community- and the votes are in. Many of you suggested ideas, over 250 people voted, and the name Play Patch was the winner!
We’ve also been working hard behind the scenes with the Play Patch team to get ready to open, and can now share the plan with you.
Here is our timeline for opening:
Cafe Sessions:
- Our booking system opens on Tuesday 14th April at www.lockleazent.co.uk/project/play-patch
- Play Patch cafe sessions will open on Wednesday 22nd April.
- The sessions will be two hours long at 9:00, 11:30, and 2:00 from Monday to Friday, just as before.
- We now have a simplified pricing structure- places are £2.50 each for adults and children over 5 months, with a 50p booking fee online. Walk-ins will be £3 if there is space!
