Spotted in North Yorkshire… a true piece of Wicksteed history 💚🐴

It’s always special seeing our iconic rocking horses still standing proudly in communities decades later — a reminder of the generations of children who have climbed aboard, held on tight and made memories through play.

Built to last and still bringing smiles today 🌳

It’s fantastic to see pupils enjoying the play area once again, supporting active play, friendship and outdoor fun for years to come.

The children are thrilled to be able to use it again and are taking every opportunity get outside and play.

A really special morning at Plumbley Park for the opening of Elemie’s Park yesterday 💗

Seeing families enjoying a space that Wicksteed helped bring to life was incredibly meaningful. More than just a playground, this is a space created through community spirit, kindness and determination — a lasting tribute to Elemie that will bring joy to children and families for many years to come.

It was wonderful to see the community come together alongside Sheffield City Council and the Friends of Group to celebrate the opening of such an important space for local families.

Here’s to many happy memories, adventures and moments of play ahead 🌳

We’re proud to see our play equipment featured on ITV News Calendar, helping highlight the need for more accessible and inclusive play spaces within communities across the UK

At Wicksteed, we believe every child should have the opportunity to play, explore and connect — regardless of age or ability. But for many families, accessible play opportunities are still limited.

That’s why creating inclusive spaces where children can play together, build confidence and feel part of their community has always been so important to us.

It’s encouraging to see this important conversation being brought into the spotlight and communities continuing to advocate for play spaces that truly welcome everyone 🌳

We were incredibly proud to stand alongside Play England for the launch of the new 10-year strategy, “It All Starts With Play!” at the Houses of Parliament.

This bold vision puts play back where it belongs at the heart of communities, planning policy, and every child’s development.
