Welcome to Beanz Barn
Where Adventure
Meets Comfort!
Set within a beautifully converted grain store on a small family farm in a quiet village location in Northamptonshire.
Beanz Barn is a forest and treehouse-themed softplay and café designed to spark imagination and bring families together. Inspired by the charm of English woodlands, our space invites children up to the age of 10 to explore, climb, and play in a safe, engaging environment.
Our main playframe is built with active and adventurous play in mind, offering older children a chance to challenge themselves with slides, ladders, swings, nets, and a variety of exciting obstacles. For our youngest visitors, a dedicated under-3s area ensures safe and stimulating play away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger kids.

Beanz Barn Soft Play FAQs
Do you take cash on site?
To keep everything safer, faster, and more reliable, we only take card payments and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
We don’t accept cash on site.
This is primarily for insurance and security reasons: keeping cash on the premises increases risk and complicates our compliance obligations. It also creates logistical challenges; storing and transporting cash securely, holding change, reconciling takings, and making bank deposits all slow things down and take our team away from serving guests.
What age group is Beanz Barn suitable for?
Our soft play is designed for children aged 0–10. We have a dedicated under-3s area for toddlers and babies, and a larger playframe with more adventurous features for older children.
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment. Walk-ins are welcome though if you choose not to book ahead. Book online HERE
How long can we stay and play?
All play sessions last 2hrs.
Is the play area supervised?
Our team is always on hand to ensure safety and cleanliness, but parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children at all times.
What should my child wear?
Comfortable clothing. Socks are mandatory. For safety reasons, shoes must be removed before entering the play areas, and loose jewellery or accessories should be removed.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Outside food and drinks are not permitted inside Beanz Barn. We kindly ask all guests to enjoy the delicious offerings from our on-site café, which includes a variety of child-friendly meals, snacks, and drinks, as well as barista coffees and sweet treats for grown-ups. This helps us maintain a clean and safe environment for everyone.
Is Beanz Barn accessible for children with additional needs?
Yes, Beanz Barn is designed to be as inclusive and accessible as possible. We offer level access and egress throughout the site, along with designated accessible parking close to the entrance. There are engaging play elements available on the ground floor, allowing children with varying needs to enjoy the space.
However, due to the nature of soft play structures, some areas of the play frame may not be suitable or accessible for all children. If you have specific requirements or questions, we encourage you to get in touch ahead of your visit so we can support your family’s experience.
