REPLAY
A LIMITLESS RECYCLED PLAYGROUND
‘If there’s only one place you visit in London this summer then make sure it’s REPLAY’ @thelondonkids
​
'Colourful, vibrant and exciting. I'm absolutely wowed.' Coin Street Nursery
Enter an endless world of play in this brand new interactive experience. Part installation, part adventure playground, Replay is a space built entirely out of waste materials repurposed for fun.
This summer, children and their grown ups are invited to play side by side in a space full of things you can move, change, combine, wear and reimagine. Build your own worlds, invent your own games, be inspired by others and leave ideas for players to come. With a design that reignites imaginations, a score composed from recycled sounds and a unique crowdsourced play generator, Replay is a 60 minute uninterrupted celebration of free play.
Replay was created by Theatre Director Ruby Thompson, Designer Rūta Irbīte and Writer and Composer Sam Caseley.

ACCESSIBILITY
This is a Relaxed event. This means that we have a relaxed approach to noise and movement in the space, and you are free to enter and exit. A quieter space and noise-cancelling headphones are available for both adults and children. There are subtle changes made to light and gentle sound effects in the experience.
​
Sensory Adapted sessions take place weekly on Sunday mornings, and on Thursday mornings after Thursday 27th July.
Sensory Adapted sessions feature lower capacity of up to 30 people in the space, instead of 60 people. Levels of lighting and sound effects will be adapted if necessary. These sessions may be especially suitable for audiences with sensory sensitivities. This may include children, young people and adults with neurodivergence such as autism, learning difficulties or other sensory or communication needs.
