Playday, the UK wide annual national day for play, will be celebrated on Wednesday 7 August.

The theme for this year’s Playday is ‘Play – the culture of childhood. Supporting play, fun and friendships’.

This year’s theme celebrates the rich and lively culture of children’s play. Every child plays – playfulness is a distinct feature of behaviour across generations and cultures. Playing generates a culture of childhood.

Families, playworkers, and all those who work with children across the country are being invited to join together to foster a culture of supporting play.
