Toy sale today as Penwortham's Playspace closes - and teases "something new and wonderful coming"

A toy sale is running at Playspace in Liverpool Road today (Friday, February 13).

Mum-of-three Lucy Chamberlain opened Playspace in 2024 in the former Capelli Hair site on Liverpool Road, Penwortham, after feeling that the area was missing somewhere for children to go any day of the week. She wanted Playspace to give children “a safe place to roam” with interactive and educational toys including Modu, and worked with staff from award-winning Aven to develop a menu suitable for both children and adults.

But in November, she warned it would close if new owners couldn’t be found. This week she announced the closure had happened - but teased “something new and wonderful coming to the space soon”.

“It has truly been a privilege”

She said: “As many of you know, Playspace has now closed, and I just want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.

“Your kindness, loyalty, and encouragement have meant more than I can ever express.It has truly been a privilege to welcome so many families through our doors and be part of so many special memories.T

“The building will be transferring to the new owners at the end of the month, and we’re excited to see something new and wonderful coming to the space soon. Before then, we’ll be holding a Toy Sale on Friday 13th February, so please pop in if you’d like to give some of our much-loved toys a new home.

“Thank you again for being part of the Playspace journey — it’s been unforgettable.With love and gratitude, Lucy.”
