Following months of market research and modelling it was clear that the local venue required a family oriented business to fill a gap in the market. Lets Explore was born in mid 2017 and building work completed ready for opening in Q4 that year. Leading the team on the ground and communicating with our high net worth investor regularly we soon exceeded all expectations and quickly become a centre for the local community. Lets Explore has continued to grow employing 30+ staff and entertaining thousands of families each week. The 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic has significantly slowed growth and closed the doors to the public for 8+ months. We hope to re-open in the near future. Show less -
