Dumbreck Outdoor Playbarn is a real barn,

in a real stable yard, with real mud.

This family business began in 2020, and has become a treasured resource for many young families. Set on the edge of Pollok Country Park in Glasgow’s Southside, the Playbarn is aimed at kids from walking to age 6, and their grown-ups.

 

The covered barn is full of role play toys - from a vet clinic, to a hospital, mini theatre, diner, police station and a shop - while the adjacent field has a pirate ship, fairy garden, water play, sand pit, campfire and mud kitchen. 

 

Play sessions last 2 hours and are overseen by an early years practitioner. Every day we offer a 15-30 minute activity, from roasting marshmallows to grooming the resident miniature Shetland ponies, Honey and Lily. Check our weekly schedule for up-to-date activities. We serve tea and coffee for £1/cup.

​

At Dumbreck Playbarn, our ethos is reuse, reduce and recycle. All our toys are second-hand and we don't throw things away until they are well loved. We also enjoy making our own toys. Our police station is made from an old cot, our water play is from old whisky barrels and gutter pipes, and our mud kitchen is made from old hay pallets. We want to show that the world is full of possibilities, even when resources are limited.
