A woman and her two brothers have opened an indoor play area for families in Gainsborough, more than a year after first buying the business, due to COVID-19.
Jane Coulson, Michael Fieldson and Matthew Fieldson first bought Play World Gainsborough in April 2020, never expecting the coronavirus pandemic to span as long as it has.
Over a year later, the brothers and sister have finally opened the doors to Play World after investing over £100,000 in the building.
Plenty of investment has gone into the refurbishment.
An entire overhaul of the building saw a better heating system installed, as well as a total redecoration and cleaning process.
The family-run company has employed nine part-time staff members so far, including two chefs as they intend to serve freshly prepared cooked meals.
Friendly reminders of social distancing can be found.
As well as this, Play World will be baking fresh cakes every day for families to enjoy while the children have fun at the play area.
Jane and her brothers all come from a farming background but admitted they couldn’t turn down the opportunity of owning what was formerly The Playhouse.
Many activities for children inside Play World.
Jane said: “We wanted to do something different to run alongside the farms.
“We heard that the business was closing down and felt that Gainsborough needed something like this for the children.
“We have plans for lots of things going forward but are just waiting to see what happens with COVID-19 over the coming months.”

But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
