The space features a sound installation by Buffalo Sound Design, play structures designed and built in collaboration with Three Create, and crocheted breastfeeding aids from Leeds Bosom Buddies.

Children are encouraged to touch, climb and slide in an immersive environment specifically designed to engage kids under five.

The new Tiny Tetley studio is also supported by Garfield Weston Foundation and National Lottery Awards for All.

The play space is free to use when visitors sign up for The Tetley's free family pass, which also gives people access to special discounts in The Tetley Bar and Kitchen and access to other free family activities.
