CHILDREN of all ages are invited to enjoy a fun-filled National Playday celebration at Blacon Adventure Playground.

Playday is an annual event celebrating children’s right to play, as well as highlighting the importance of play in young people’s lives.

This year’s event takes place on Wednesday, August 7, and has a theme of ‘Play Builds Children’ - highlighting how play is beneficial to young people for building friendships, resilience, health and wellbeing and connections with others.

To mark the occasion, Avenue Services is providing a wide variety of free activities at the adventure playground, in Kipling Road.

Between 1pm-4pm, children will be able to make their own instruments and join a ‘junk orchestra’ as well as enjoying games, messy art play and much more.

Paul Knight, head of Avenue Services, said: “National Playday is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of play and the many ways in which it benefits children’s lives.

“Blacon Adventure Playground is the perfect place to celebrate play and we look forward to welcoming lots of children and families for what is sure to be an enjoyable and fun-filled occasion.”
