Wrexham: National Playday returns with free family event

The much-loved event will take pace on Wednesday, August 7 from 12pm until 4pm on Queen Square and Llwyn Isaf (the Guildhall field).

Playday is for people of all ages including babies and toddlers, older children, teenagers, parents, professionals and grandparents - all are invited to join in this free and playful event.

Organisations involved in children’s play and playwork from across Wrexham will be coming together to provide a wide range of free playful opportunities, including favourites like the giant sandpit and junk play.

Cllr Phil Wynn, Lead Member for Education, said: “The aim of  our annually held Wrexham Playday is to highlight children’s right to play, encouraging people to recognise the value of playing to children, their families and their local communities.

"The event is part of the local authority’s continued commitment to ensure all children across the county borough have enough time, space and permission to play.”
