Date confirmed for this summer’s Playday!

Summer may feel like a long way off, however the date for this summer’s most playful event has been confirmed.

On Wednesday 7th August Wrexham will once again be celebrating National Playday with an event in the heart of the town centre.

Based on Llwyn Isaf (Library Field) and Queens Square between midday and 4pm, Playday is for people of all ages including babies and toddlers, older children, teenagers, parents, professionals and grandparents, all of which are invited for an afternoon of fun in the (hopefully) sun!

Each year thousands visit the free event, which sees a wealth of fun activities such as a giant sandpit, mass water fight and junk play on offer for visitors to enjoy.

The aim of this event is to highlight children’s right to play, encouraging people to recognise the value of playing to children, their families and their local communities.

In doing this Wrexham’s Playday event is part of the local authority’s continued commitment to try ensure all children across the county borough have enough time, space and permission to play.

Approximately 4000 people visited Playday event last year and organisers aim to make this year’s even bigger and better, but this can only happen if people come along and join in the fun.

All organisers ask is that you bring along a playful mood and some clothes you don’t mind getting wet and messy. In the past families have brought along picnics and stayed all afternoon!
