To fuel creativity, Playwell Corner has partnered with local bakers at Treat Yourself by JC to offer a selection of delicious cakes and treats.

The owners of Playwell Corner are long-time LEGO aficionados who are thrilled to share their passion with the community. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment for LEGO enthusiasts shines through in every detail of the cafe.

“We’ve been collecting and building LEGO for years, but have never had anywhere to meet up and make building a social activity”, says Chris Parsisson, one of Playwell Corner’s founders. “It was important to us to make that happen for our Notts community.”

"We've always been passionate about LEGO, and we wanted to create a space where everyone could come together to build, create, and share their love for these iconic bricks," says Gareth Davis, one of the owners of Playwell Corner. "Seeing the smiles on people's faces as they build and play reminds us why we love LEGO so much."
