Work commences on a £3m North Cave children's attraction

Building work is now underway at a new £3m children’s play adventure near North Cave, East Yorkshire.

Scheduled to open in Spring 2017, William’s Den will be aimed at the family market and includes a timber crafted adventure and indoor play barn.

Martin Hall, managing director of Hull-based Hall Construction Group who is overseeing the build,said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded the build of this state of the art facility for East Yorkshire.

“We’ll be using sustainable building materials, providing a low carbon footprint and giving a unique experience to visitors, while integrating with the original buildings in a sensitive way.”

Tor Carver, co-founder at William’s Den, added: “William’s Den is all about play. We’re creating wonderful opportunities for children of all ages to have fun outside and in, whatever the weather. It’s the stuff our childhood memories are made of.

“It is going to be a unique experience, bringing kids closer to nature and allowing them space to run free, burn up lots of energy and learn through active play. We’re also looking after the grown-ups with a quality food and drink offer.”

Christian Carver, co-founder at William’s Den, continued: “We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors from the UK and overseas to William’s Den.

“We both grew up on farms and felt there weren’t enough opportunities out there for kids to be able to play independently, learn through climbing and the freedom of the great outdoors, all in a safe environment. This has been a four-year project and we can’t wait for William’s Den to open.”

Architect Chris Walker from Hull-based Native Architects, also commented: “Native has led the design of this innovative project and we’re looking forward to seeing our design create an amazing and inspiring space for families to enjoy next year.”
