About this place
Little Village Saddleworth is an indoor play centre housed in the historic Oakdale Mill in Delph, offering a thoughtfully designed space for young children to explore and play.
The venue features multiple themed play areas including a miniature grocery store, vets surgery, fire station and dressing-up zones, giving children opportunities for imaginative role-play and creative learning. It's particularly well-suited to toddlers and preschoolers, though older siblings will find plenty to do across the varied spaces.
Parents can relax in the on-site cafe with good coffee and refreshments whilst keeping an eye on the play areas, making it an ideal spot for a morning or afternoon out during the school holidays or weekend.

Top tips
- Visit on a weekday morning if possible for a quieter, less crowded experience, particularly during term time
- Arrive early in the session if you're planning to use the cafe, as seating can get busy during peak times
- Dress your child in easy-to-remove layers, as the play areas can vary in temperature
- Check whether a birthday party is scheduled before you visit, as downstairs spaces may be reserved and the overall atmosphere can differ
- Allow at least 2 hours for a visit to make the most of all the different play zones
