YOUNG pirates were made to walk the plank on Saturday, as a new soft play centre was opened.
Borough mayor Cllr Keith Baker was on hand to cut the ribbon to Pirates Landing, based in Elms Field.
The centre is, as the name testifies, a bit piratey, and includes slides, ball pits, climbing frames and a café area.
It is part of the town centre regeneration, and its opening had been delayed by the pandemic.
Following the launch, Sarah Morgan, assistant director of commercial property at Wokingham Borough Council, said: “We’re really pleased to welcome Pirates Landing to our Elms Field regeneration.
“While their original opening was delayed by the pandemic they are an amazing business and well worth the wait.
“We’re sure they will be a real hit with local families for years to come.”
The company has another branch in Camberley, and has an aim of providing a fun day out for families, with high quality play equipment kept in shipshape condition.
Chris Jefferson, owner of Pirates Landing, said: “Our goal at Pirates Landing is to make a positive impact on the lives of the families in the communities we serve.
“The passionate team at Pirates Landing will always provide a first class captain’s experience.”
