Let's celebrate National Playday, Wednesday 3 August 2022.

There’s lots to do this National Playday!

We have our free Summer Family Activities: Play Stations in The Space downstairs.

Our amazing exhibitions Assemble + Schools of Tomorrow: The Place We Imagine and Meriem Bennani: Life on the CAPS.

Subtle Play interventions around the building, plus we have our Family Explorer sensory bags for you to enjoy.

We will be handing out a free pack of chalks to all our workshop families on National Playday to take home, a gentle protest to taking over spaces.

Take a look at what you can do on your street here Coming out to Play?
