The Story of Pirates Landing
Pirates Landing was born from a vision to redefine the standard of indoor family entertainment. In 2018, Chris and Simon identified a unique opportunity to acquire an existing soft play facility in Camberley. However, rather than simply maintaining the status quo, they were determined to innovate.
They set out to bridge a gap in the market by creating a premium concept built on three non-negotiable pillars: Safety, Cleanliness and friendliness. By combining Chris’s background in professional learning and development with Simon’s entrepreneurial track record, they transformed the traditional soft play model into a meticulous, high-standard environment. Today, that commitment to excellence has fueled their expansion across Camberley, Wokingham, and Farnham, with High Wycombe joining the crew soon.
Three facts about Pirates Landing
- We celebrate over 1000 parties a year
- Our biggest site is at High Wycombe at over 8000sq/ft, with two party spaces and a 26 metre long Pirate Ship play frame
- We are Pirate themed as it is as popular with girls as it is with boys. Pirate FACT - The most successful female Pirate in history was Zheng Yi Sao, who commanded the Red Flag Fleet of over 1800 ships. In comparison, the biggest Navy today is China with up to 750 vessels.
At Pirates Landing, we don’t just offer a place to play; we uphold a gold standard for indoor family entertainment. Our mission is built on three unwavering commitments to be the Cleanest, Safest and Friendliest soft play in the UK.
The Cleanest:
We use specialised machines and detailed cleaning schedules to ensure every session begins in a sparkling environment.
The Safest:
From equipment design to staff training, every detail has been carefully considered to provide a secure, worry-free space for children to explore safely.
The Friendliest:
Our team fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere and is dedicated to going above and beyond, ensuring that nothing is ever too much trouble as we strive to create a truly memorable experience for every visitor.
