About Soft Play in Brighton
Brighton has a growing number of soft play centres and indoor play venues that cater to families with children of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick play session on a weekday morning or planning a birthday party, this guide will help you find exactly what you need.
Most soft play centres in Brighton feature multi-level climbing frames, slides, ball pits, and dedicated areas for under-3s. Many also have on-site cafes where parents can relax while keeping an eye on the children. Some venues go further with sensory rooms, role-play areas, and outdoor play spaces.
Soft play sessions in Brighton are priced in different ways: per child, by age band, by session length, or as unlimited play. Off-peak weekday sessions are often cheaper than weekends and school holidays, and some venues sell multi-visit passes or monthly memberships. As a UK-wide guide (published venue prices, checked October 2026), a play session typically costs about £4–£8 per child. Council and community venues sit at the low end, while London and large commercial centres can charge £8–£10 or more; babies are often free or a few pounds.
Many soft play centres in Brighton run dedicated SEN-friendly sessions with reduced noise, lower lighting, and fewer children. These sessions are invaluable for families with children who have additional needs. If SEN provision is important to you, use our filters to find venues that offer it.
We're continually updating our listings for Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex area. If you know of a venue we've missed, or if you're a venue owner and want to update your information, we'd love to hear from you. Our aim is to be the most complete and accurate guide to soft play in Brighton.
