150 YEARS

OF BRITISH MANUFACTURING

CELEBRATING

In 2026, we’re celebrating 150 years of British manufacturing in Kettering, and a legacy built on engineering, innovation, and play.

From pioneering early engineering breakthroughs to becoming the UK’s leading playground equipment manufacturer, Wicksteed has helped shape childhoods for over a century.

Since entering the world of play in 1918, we’ve remained committed to creating safe, inclusive, and inspiring places to play for communities across the UK and beyond.

Today, we continue to support local authorities, schools and developers with durable, inclusive play environments built for long-term value.

Here’s to 150 years of Wicksteed, and generations of unforgettable play.
