Oliver Wren, centre director at Castle Quay Shopping Centre, said: “I think that families within Banbury will be very excited about the return of our soft play area.

“It’s become a very important space for families within the community and we really hope visitors love the refresh it’s had and the added facilities and improved seating installed.

“A big thank you to People’s Theatre Collective for premiering their new musical play at Castle Quay too, which was an extra special treat for our visitors to enjoy!”

The Play Zone is located near the JD store and is free for families to use.
