Kids play area
Kids love to play and we have the perfect play area for our visitors under 5. If they need some down time from the shops head along to our play area in the foodcourt on Level 2 outside EVENT Cinemas. You must supervise your children as Chartwell Shopping Centre does not provide supervision. To keep our play area safe and clean we ask that kids please remove their shoes and have no food or drink in this area. Chartwell takes no responsibility for any injury from the use of the play area. Any use of this area by children outside of age limit is deemed unauthorised use.
