Where imagination meets exceptional design

In 2021, Kate and Dan Wright brought their vision to life, designing and building their own children's role-play village in the heart of Derbyshire. Meticulously crafted and thoughtfully designed, the miniature world combined imaginative play environments with a premium café and dedicated party space, offering families a distinctive alternative to traditional children's play venues.

What began as a personal project soon became something much bigger. Recognising a growing demand for beautifully designed, high-quality play environments, Kate and Dan established DKMD Role-Play Villages Ltd, bringing their expertise and creativity to other businesses looking to offer something truly special.

Today, Role-Play Villages designs, manufactures and installs exceptional role-play environments for clients across the UK and Europe. From individual play features to fully immersive villages, every project combines thoughtful design, educational value and outstanding craftsmanship to create spaces where imagination, curiosity and creativity can thrive.

Beyond the Village

As the business evolved, so too did its offering. Alongside bespoke installations, Role-Play Villages introduced a carefully curated collection of commercial-grade role-play furniture and freestanding vehicles, allowing venues to enhance, refresh and expand their play environments with beautifully crafted, durable products.

Designed and manufactured with the same attention to detail as its bespoke villages, the collection brings the quality and character of Role-Play Villages to spaces of all sizes, with products available to purchase online.

Innovation Through Play

In 2026, Role-Play Villages entered an exciting new chapter with the launch of its innovative PlayPod collection.

Created in response to the growing recognition of the importance of imaginative play in children's development, PlayPods offer a flexible and accessible way to introduce immersive role-play experiences into nurseries, schools, community spaces and commercial settings.

Combining beautiful design with practical versatility, these thoughtfully engineered, moveable environments make it easier than ever to create inspiring spaces for learning through play.

The same year also welcomed Helen Davis as Commercial Director, marking another significant step in the company's growth. Bringing additional commercial expertise and strategic direction, Helen's appointment supports the continued expansion of Role-Play Villages into new sectors and markets, while strengthening the foundations for the brand's future.

Designed to Inspire. Built to Last

At the heart of Role-Play Villages is a belief that children deserve extraordinary spaces in which to play, discover and grow.

Every creation, from an individual piece of furniture to an entire role-play village, is guided by a commitment to exceptional design, lasting quality and the transformative power of imaginative play.

Because the spaces we create today help shape the imaginations of tomorrow.
