It's a large and immersive, brightly colored traditional fun fair, reimagined as a fully playable environment. Even the Ferris Wheel and Helter Skelter allow you to get inside and clamber all the way to the top, before sliding out again. There's also a first of it\u2019s kind in the UK splash pad that adds another layer of play, particularly in warmer months, while integrated lighting used throughout every structure means it's an all year round experience too. I know we built it, but we're big, big fans.

The play at Newhaven Fort was developed in conjunction with the overhaul of the museum experience, created within one of England's most picturesque Grade One listed forts, located on the Sussex Coastline. The play experience pays homage to the genius of the 22-year-old Anglo-Irish Lieutenant and military engineer, John Charles Ardagh, who designed the fort back in 1862.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21200\" src=\"https:\/\/wearecapco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Newhaven-fort-adventure-play-by-CAP.CO-lead-image.jpg\" alt=\"Newhaven fort adventure play by CAP.CO lead image\" width=\"1500\" height=\"845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearecapco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Newhaven-fort-adventure-play-by-CAP.CO-lead-image.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/wearecapco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Newhaven-fort-adventure-play-by-CAP.CO-lead-image-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wearecapco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Newhaven-fort-adventure-play-by-CAP.CO-lead-image-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wearecapco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Newhaven-fort-adventure-play-by-CAP.CO-lead-image-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wearecapco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Newhaven-fort-adventure-play-by-CAP.CO-lead-image-710x400.jpg 710w, https:\/\/wearecapco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Newhaven-fort-adventure-play-by-CAP.CO-lead-image-530x300.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Joshi's Jungle at Howletts<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The dream of playing alongside Gorillas may not be for everyone, but our play concept for Howlett\u2019s draws inspiration from the dynamic world of young gorillas and offers an engaging environment of climbing, swinging, and balancing activities alongside sensory games.
