Stellar New Space-Themed Play Area Launches

Arkell’s Brewery, in partnership with Harlequin Group, have created a fantastic new play area for the local community!

A brand-new, space-themed play area opened this week at Arkell’s Brewery’s popular family pub, The Sun Inn, at Coate Water. Arkell’s appointed local Swindon-based contractor, Harlequin Group, to install this exciting scheme, which will be welcomed by families across Swindon ahead of the Spring and Summer months.

Work has been completed this week on the play area, which features a fantastic range of play equipment for a wide range of age groups. The park includes a mini multi-play unit for the younger years, a fun trail, toddler, junior and team swings, an exciting, challenging space-themed multi-play unit for older children, as well as a range of sensory play panels. The area has also been re-surfaced with sky blue wet pour safety surfacing, giving it a bright, fresh new look.

The investment by Arkell’s Brewery in this scheme will provide a new destination for families over the months to come, with the friendly team at The Sun Inn inviting those visiting the area to spend time enjoying the pub’s excellent food and playing in the new park.

As one of the oldest and most well-renowned businesses in the area, Arkell’s are always proud to support other local businesses, and were delighted to be able to appoint Swindon-based Harlequin Group to undertake this project. The partnership is a great example of local businesses supporting each other and investing money within the local community.

George Arkell, Managing Director from Arkell’s Brewery said

“It has been fantastic to work with another Swindon firm on our new children’s play area at The Sun. The Sun Inn is a wonderful family pub and, having invested over £90,000.00 in upgrading the play area to create a modern, safe space, we hope it will be a great addition for customers and their families when they visit.”

On behalf of Harlequin Group, Nikola Andrews, Director, said

“We are delighted to have been chosen to undertake this project on behalf of Arkell’s Brewery, and have had a great deal of fun developing the space-themed design. The Arkell’s team have been fantastic to work with, and the park packs plenty of play value for all ages into the available space."

"While we work all over the UK, delivering projects like this one in our local community is always special for us. We are a family-run business and have young children ourselves, so not only are we helping to improve facilities in our local community, we will also get to enjoy the play area with our own family too.”
