Numerous local organisations and council departments will be coming together to to ensure that a wide range of play opportunities are made available.
Play opportunities include den building, rope swings, sand and water, messy play, cardboard box city, big bubbles, painting, boat building and pond dipping.
The focus of the events is on children directing their own play and adults are encouraged to allow play to continue without getting too involved.
Children will have supervised access to tools, den building, mud and water play supervised by trained playworkers. Parent should expect the kids to get wet and muddy.
Playing Out is an ‘open access’ event meaning children can come and go as they please. Parents are advised to attend; under 8’s must be supervised.
