About Millie's Magical Garden
Millie's Magical Garden is the soft play at Washington Millennium Centre in Concord, run by the Washington Millennium Centre Trust, a community organisation. It occupies a converted sports hall and is themed as a garden, with a large Tree House play frame plus separate baby and toddler areas, for children up to the age of 10.
Play is in 90-minute sessions and there is no pre-booking, so families simply turn up. Payment is cash only. During term time there is a Toddler Time offer on weekdays from 9.30am to 3pm. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 9.30am to 6pm, Friday 9.30am to 5.45pm, and Saturday and Sunday 9.30am to 4.45pm. Because it is part of a wider community centre, money spent there supports the trust's other activities. Check the centre's website for any changes before visiting.
