Playday is the national day for play,
traditionally celebrated on the first Wednesday in August.
Playday 2012 will be
on Wednesday 1 August.
On Playday thousands of
children and their families get out to play at hundreds
of community events across the UK.
As well as a celebration of children's right to
play, Playday is a campaign that highlights the importance of play
in children’s lives.
Playday 2011 was on 3 August and was
supported by Savlon - over 520
events were held across the UK to celebrate!
Thanks to everyone who helped make Playday
2011 a huge success - we look forward to your continued
support.

Savlon and Play England research for Playday
2011.
The research
found that children are missing out on the great
outdoors.
60 per cent of parents would like their
children to play outdoors more, but one in seven don't know where their nearest
natural play space is.
