AN INDOOR play centre in Farsley has signed a new lease at Sunny Bank Mills, so will celebrate its 20th anniversary at the mill complex.
Jackaboos was founded by Angie Walker and has been based in the historic Old Combing building at Sunny Bank since the very beginning.
Angie said: “The play centre opened in 2006 and we have gone from strength to strength, surviving both the financial crisis of 2008 and the Covid pandemic.”
She added: “Sunny Bank Mills has changed over the years since I arrived, as it was once focused on cloth production, with just a couple of tenants. It is now so different with a wide variety of businesses and services and is a thriving community, recreational, cultural and social hub for Farsley and beyond.”
Since opening in 2006, Jackaboos has hosted thousands of birthday parties for children of the area.
John Gaunt, joint managing director of Edwin Woodhouse, the owners of Sunny Bank Mills, said: “Jackaboos is one of our oldest and most loyal tenants and we have weathered recessions and floods and survived a global pandemic together. So it gives us great pleasure to renew their lease at the Old Combing, demonstrating the strength of our long-term relationships with local businesses.”
