Jessica Harvey from Whitchurch said there were some days in the summer that no-one came to her centre
The owner of a soft play area in north Shropshire said it is in danger of closure as the hot summer has meant centres like hers have struggled to get people through the doors.
Jessica Harvey has run Funzone in Whitchurch for over a year, and said the industry is seasonal, with there being occasions when she was the only one at the centre all day.
"Over the summer, there has definitely been [times] where we probably had 10 to 15 people in all week, which just isn't sustainable", she said.
Funzone, which has existed as a soft play centre in Whitchurch for 17 years, was sold two years ago. But the company that bought it went into liquidation, meaning Harvey was able to buy the firm in October 2025.
