It’s amazing how a simple garden swing seat can bring back memories of childhood and, for some, even royal memories. The history behind some of the first swings sold by Plum is a fascinating one…
In the earlier years of our story, Plum supplied play equipment on behalf of the brand EMWE. Like today, we sold play equipment made from high-quality materials with safety at the heart of the design, so our swings proved very popular, being sold in prestigious toy shops like Hamleys.
One of our swings was even enjoyed by a young Prince William! The photo below shows a beaming Prince William sitting in the swing seat, joined by his father, King Charles III.
This doting image of King Charles III and Prince William has become iconic and shows the joys of childhood that Plum Play still brings to families worldwide today.
