Out There Indoors Play Café

About

Out There Indoors is a Scandinavian-inspired play cafe located within the vibrant Paintworks development in BS4, Bristol. It is the offspring of Out There Kindergarten, also based in Bristol, which has greatly shaped the idea for this alternative play space - one without the bright colours, plastic and harsh lighting that you would find in your typical soft play.

Out There Indoors are committed to providing a sanctuary for self-directed play and carefully curating resources that evolve with each passing season.

Daily sessions are offered four times a day, Monday through Friday (currently two sessions on Wednesdays), and once on Saturday mornings. Each 90-minute session invites children, parents, and carers to immerse themselves in the Out There experience.

Inside the play cafe, children can explore three climbing walls, ball shoots, a variety of role-play resources, a dress-up area, loose parts for creative play, authentic small-world resources, sensory items, and a cosy book corner. There are plenty of resources for younger children too and the suggested age range is between 0-5 years.

Session Times:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 09:30-11:00, 11:30-13:00,13:30-15:00, 15:30-17:00

Wednesdays: 09:30-11:00, 11:30-13:00

As fellow parents and owners of Out There Indoors, Jenny & Mika, understand the struggles of finding a place where both adults and kids can enjoy a good meal too. This is why they have put a lot of care & attention into their offering on the food/drink front. The cafe boasts a menu of mouthwatering sourdough toasties for both adults and children, nutrient-rich five-a-day veg soups, fresh veg produce kids tapas, an assortment of pastries and cakes, and organic, fair-trade coffee alongside a selection of organic soft drinks.

In line with their commitment to environmental responsibility, Out There Indoors strives to be environmentally friendly and sustainable in all aspects of their business. Out There Indoors also hire out their space for birthday parties on Saturday and Sundays. Party sessions last two hours and you are able to bring along your own food & drink too. There will be a member of staff on site to help out with set up, tidy away and who can also provide drinks & snacks which can be purchased on the day from the cafe.

You can book all sessions and enquire about party availability via their website.

Out There Indoors is located in Zone C of the Paintworks, Bath Road, Bristol, BS4 3AR.

You’ll find them in between The Royal Photographic Society and Octopus Energy, depending on which direction you are coming from. 

There are three visitor car parks. One close to Boca Bar, one on your left before the beauty House (both free for three hours) and one paying at the end of the Zone C.
