Playwell Corner is the brainchild of two long-standing friends Gaz and Chris. Both of us are huge AFOLs (Adult fans of LEGO®) and have amassed a rather large collection of LEGO®. Like most people, we ran out of room to display our hobby! One day whilst building LEGO® (obviously), we decided to take our love for LEGO® to another level and create a space which is all things LEGO® and from there Playwell Corner began.

So Playwell isn't just a LEGO® café; it's a dream coming to life. We are driven by the desire to share our love for LEGO® and cultivate a space where imagination reigns supreme. 

Playwell Corner isn't just about the bricks – it's about sharing our deep knowledge, experience, and passion for LEGO®. Our vision is to create a space where creativity thrives, connections grow, and the joy of building resonates throughout the community.

The word LEGO® has a fun and fitting origin story: it's actually an abbreviation of two Danish words - "leg godt"

"leg godt"

"play well"

This translates to "play well", perfectly capturing the essence of the world-famous building blocks.
