TouchWood Play

Company description

Since 2002, we’ve created hundreds of play experiences for visitor attractions, parks and public spaces, schools, trusts, charities and commissions. Our mission is to create amazing, unique play experiences where kids can use their imagination to have their own adventures in a safe, stimulating and natural setting. Everything we create is unique, and wherever possible it is crafted from locally-sourced, sustainable and durable woods including robinia, larch, chestnut and oak. TouchWood is one of very few companies that source and process our raw materials, then design, manufacture, install and maintain our play equipment. Our difference is the care and value we give to each piece of timber that goes into your play feature. We mix natural sustainable materials and a passion for adventurous, educational play, with the practical know-how and inventive design skills to make sure every play space is safe, long-lasting and special. We design each project from scratch in close collaboration with each client, and often with the active input of children and your community members. We want to understand exactly what you want to achieve, what kind of play you want to encourage, what your commercial objectives are and the personality and subtleties of your project environment. What we achieve is a special combination of ground-breaking design and creativity, pioneering technology and traditional craftsman skills, ensuring your play features facilitate outstanding natural play and offer exceptional structural beauty and integrity. Whether you want a nature trail, play area or show-stopping adventure playground, we have the knowledge, experience and passion to bring your vision to life.
