Wrexham’s most playful event will return to the city centre again this summer.

On Wednesday 2 August Queen Square and Llywn Isaf will be transformed into a giant play area to mark National Playday.

The annual event, which will take place between midday and 4pm, is for people of all ages – including babies and toddlers, older children, teenagers, parents, professionals and grandparents.

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.

Past events have featured an enormous sandpit, the chance to build a den, marshmallow roasting, junk play and the chance to throw water balloons as willing volunteers in the stocks.

All you have to do is bring along a playful mood and some clothes you don’t mind getting wet and messy.
