An East Kilbride restaurant is opening a new and improved soft play area. 

The indoor play space at Di Maggio's will shut for a week so a revamped version can be built. 

It is scheduled to open on Saturday, October 12, just in time for the school holidays.

Di Maggio’s is offering one lucky child and their friends the chance to enjoy an exclusive, VIP party to celebrate the new play area.

They will be one of the first to gain full access to the brand-new soft play, with a pizza party for up to 10 friends, bottomless soft drinks, make-your-own pizza and an ice cream sundae.

Mariusz Wrona, who is the general manager at Di Maggio’s East Kilbride, said: “Di Maggio’s is always a family favourite, but since reopening after our refurbishment, and with the introduction of Churrissimo, we've seen our restaurant become an even more popular destination. 

“But we never rest on our laurels. We’ve doubled down and have worked hard to make sure we can provide our loyal customers with the ultimate family dining experience – that’s where this new soft play area comes in. I’m a father of four myself, and to me this is perfection. 

“Whether you win the competition for the all-star party – which I think is as close as East Kilbride gets to the Met Gala – or you’re making the most of our kids eat free offer, we can’t wait to celebrate the reopening with you.” 

All kids can eat free at Di Maggio's East Kilbride from October 11 to 20, and bookings must be made in advance.
