• 38 on-site parking spaces
• RoSPA Gold Star awarded in 2025

This would make an excellent acquisition for a hands-on buyer seeking a sizeable, reputable and well-positioned leisure business with an established customer base, loyal local following and scope to further develop its marketing and online presence.
Established in 2007, Jungle Jeans occupies a large brick-built industrial-style unit, with 2 storeys to the front and single-storey space to the rear.
The 10,000 sq ft premises comprise a 6,000 sq ft warehouse/play area, 2,500 sq ft of offices and a separate 1,500 sq ft side storage building. The main play area measures 15.7m wide by 43m long and is accessed via reception, a small office, party room and gift shop, leading through to the play area with café and kitchen.
Upstairs provides further office space, 2 play rooms, storage cupboard and toilets. The décor is bright, child-focused and designed to appeal to families.
Play equipment is maintained in excellent condition, with a RoSPA Gold Star award achieved in 2025. The fenced side area includes a fuel tank and shutters. The site benefits from CCTV, fire and intruder alarms, and parking for 38 cars.
Staff comprise 2 full-time and 10 part-time employees, with the owner-operator supported by a reliable team.
There is clear potential for a new owner to build on the business’s long-standing reputation, large premises and loyal customer base. A refreshed marketing and social media strategy could help raise awareness, attract new families and showcase the venue with updated photography, improved online content and a modernised website.
The business may particularly suit an owner-operator couple, helping to maintain service standards while keeping staffing costs efficient. Current staffing includes 2 full-time and 10 part-time employees, with the vendor operating hands-on and supported by a capable team.
The premises also offer considerable flexibility due to their size and layout. With 10,000 sq ft, strong parking provision and an established leisure use, a buyer could explore further service development, enhanced party packages or alternative uses for parts of the building, subject to any necessary consents.
