Award-winning children’s adventure play attraction, William’s Den, at North Cave, has announced the opening of a brand-new outdoor play area, tailor-made for toddlers and pre-schoolers.

This additional space, which promises a magical, sensory experience for young explorers, is part of a £100,000 investment into the site. To support the development, William's Den received £50,000 from the UK Government through the Rural England Prosperity Fund, accessed following support from Invest East Yorkshire, part of East Riding Council.

The new wooden play area features a range of sensory play equipment and balance activities, tailored to support early development through fun and adventure. The equipment was chosen to align with the core values and ethos of William’s Den: imaginative play, sensory elements and risk-taking.

Christian Carver, co-founder and creator of William’s Den, said: “Our vision has always been to create a place where children of all ages can learn through play. We’re delighted to have enhanced our facilities for the Den’s youngest explorers.

“This exciting new play area is a space for toddlers and pre-schoolers to run, jump, climb, balance and play together with sounds, so they can enjoy the countless benefits of outdoor adventures in a setting designed just for them. It’s open now, so come along soon to be among the first to try it.”

The space, created with world-class natural playground experts, Timberplay, aims to offer an enriching environment where toddlers and pre-schoolers can explore and engage with the natural world. Set against the panoramic backdrop of the Yorkshire Wolds, the new toddler area complements William’s Den’s existing range of indoor and outdoor activities.

William’s Den is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for adventure play during term times and throughout school holidays, with extra special seasonal events. For more information or to plan your visit, go to williamsden.co.uk
