Playday is the annual celebration of children’s
right to play.
Playday is a national campaign where thousands of children
and young people get out and play at locally organised events.
The theme for this year's Playday, held on
Wednesday 6 August, is Give us a go!
A huge network of people are involved in Playday –
people who are passionate about promoting children’s play.
Playday is coordinated by Play England, working in partnership
with Play Wales, Play Scotland and PlayBoard Northern Ireland.
Play is intrinsic to children’s quality of
life.
It is how they enjoy themselves and is essential to their
development.
