If you are looking for free things to do with kids in Evesham, The Valley is a great place to visit. This shopping and leisure destination combines retail, food and drink, outdoor play and relaxed family facilities, all with beautiful Worcestershire countryside nearby.
One of the highlights for families during warmer weather is Evesham on The Water, The Valley’s free splash pad. Children can press the buttons to activate the water features, making it a fun and interactive place to cool off, splash about and burn off some energy.
The splash pad is free to use and there is no need to book, making it an easy add-on to a shopping trip, lunch out or family day at The Valley.
The Splash Pad at The Valley
The splash pad is a complimentary outdoor water play area designed for children to enjoy during suitable weather. Simply press the buttons to activate the pad and let the splashing begin.
On busy days, the splash pad may pause for around 20 minutes while the fresh water tank refills, so families may need to wait briefly before play resumes.
Parents and carers are asked to supervise children at all times and to use the splash pad thoughtfully, respecting other families and the surrounding businesses.
Splash Pad Rules and Safety
- Children should be supervised at all times
- Take care around the fountains as surfaces can be slippery
- Children who are not toilet-trained should wear swim nappies
- Take regular toilet breaks
- The water is not suitable for drinking
- Use water-resistant sun cream on sunny days
- Please do not eat or drink in the splash pad area
- The area is monitored by CCTV for public safety
Play Castle
Families can also enjoy the free Play Castle, offering outdoor fun with scenic views towards the Malvern Hills and Broadway. It is a great spot for children to play before or after visiting the splash pad.
Dog Agility Course
The Valley is also a handy destination for families visiting with dogs. The free dog agility course is available with no booking required and gives dog owners a chance to try agility, enjoy the outdoors and spend active time with their pets.
Dogs should be kept on a lead when entering and leaving the arena, with one dog and one handler using the space at a time. Owners should clean up after their dog, supervise them throughout and only use the equipment if their dog is healthy, fit and confident enough to do so.
