About Ringworld 

The Ringworld team return to Compton Verney for a weekend of fun and frolics!

Enjoy playing with and around these colourful inflated structures overlooked by shady trees and sculptures inspiring the imagination. The aim of Ringworld is to provide an environment in which all children can play. By children we mean any child from birth to the age of 18, and by all children we mean ALL children.

Their team of skilled Playworkers are there to support children to play independently, so grown ups  if you can prise yourself away from bouncing, this is a chance to give your children space to Play.
