A HUGE new £500,000 fairytale attraction with climbing frames and play forts is set to open in the UK.

Brechin Castle Centre is currently home to a garden centre and country park.

And new plans have revealed the new kids playground set to open on the grounds.

Designed by UK play specialists Greenspan, the 10m wooden castle will have rope bridges, slides and puzzles.

Themed areas will include a “throne room” as well as an armoury, music parlour and magician’s study.

Kids will be able to spot a dragon on the tower as well.

It says: “The proposal is to remove the existing apparatus from the playpark and erect a play fort structure that provides visual and physical fun for children.

“The play fort will be a timber structure with small rooms, bridge walkways, rope walkways, slides, puzzles, and visual interests.”

Brechin Castle Centre marketing and events manager Susan Young told local media of the inspiration behind the new attraction.

She explained: “We wanted to create something truly magical, a place where children could become princesses, dragon trainers, wizards, or brave adventurers.

“It’s not just a play structure; it’s an escape into a world straight out of a storybook.”

She also said that the castle was just the “first step” in their growth plans.

An official opening date and name of the attraction will be announced nearer the time but it is expected to open next month.

Families have shared their excitement with one saying “this looks great for the kids”.

In the mean time, guests can visit the 70-acre country park which also has go-karts, splash park and sand pits.

Crazy golf, pedal tractors, fairy trails and wooden sledge run rides are also on-site.

Kids can also hop on the Barrel train that runs twice a day around the park.

Families can even take their own picnics although there is a food and drink shack.

Also nearby is Brechin Castle, which dates back to the 13th century

The next opening period for tourists is June 18 to July 20.

The castle was put on the market back in 2021 for £3million, after being owned by the same family for nearly 400 years.

In the mean time here is another fairytale playground in the UK, which is the largest play structure in the world.

And we’ve round an award-winning attraction which is in the UK’s biggest park.
