Located in Hillington, Norfolk, The Ffolkes Arms Hotel enjoyed an extensive refit, inside and out, totalling two million pounds. “Think Poldark, think pewter, copper, Hessian, leather, soft velvet, and rustic wood,” was how they described the transformation, and the gardens were no exception to this quest for a high end environment for all.
We built a rustic adventure playground that flows naturally around a large tree in the garden, featuring ramp access that makes it accessible for all children. The centrepiece is a large ‘egg’ type structure with a lookout tower that can be accessed from the inside. All around the play area there is seating, helping to make it a family friendly setting for all.

An Iconic Playground For An Iconic Setting
As part of the restoration and renovation project of an iconic 300 year old coaching inn, we wanted our play area to represent the high quality values of the hotel. The end result is something we are very proud of – a high quality play area that is engaging, aesthetically pleasing, and rustic, fitting well with its surroundings. As this creations is located close to our offices, we visit regularly and have been delighted to see it being used by so many children on a constant basis.
