The award-winning installations are sustainably built using naturally durable timbers and industrial materials to provide high quality, precisely tuned percussion instruments that are accessible to all ages and abilities.

Wicksteed Playgrounds brought the designs of local school children to life by creating an impressive, imaginative and, crucially, inclusive £300k playpark at Wilton Lodge Park in Hawick, Scotland. Reflecting the history of the area, a large bespoke timber castle-inspired multi-play feature takes pride of place in the scheme which incorporates a wide range of diverse play and sensory elements across different zones. Notably, the primary school pupils’ brief allowed Wicksteed to really demonstrate their bespoke design creativities and capabilities.
