National Day of Play
It’s Playday on Wednesday 2nd August – the national day for play!
Playday is a national initiative organised by Play England, Play Wales, Play Scotland and PlayBoard Northern Ireland. This year’s theme for Playday is ‘playing on a shoestring – making every day an adventure‘. It’s about focusing on the everyday low-cost or no-cost play adventures that children can enjoy at home, in settings, and in our communities.
- Play is essential at all ages and stages of childhood, and is particularly important during times of crisis.
- Play helps children make sense of the world around them, deal with challenges, and build resilience.
- Play is fun, enabling children to make friends, blow off steam, and cope with stress and anxiety.
- Play is vital for children’s health, happiness, and skills development including creativity, imagination, and sense of adventure.
We at Gymboree Play & Music Bristol know more than most about the benefits of play! So to celebrate Playday we’re throwing open our doors and offering a free session for any little ones aged 0-5 years to come and play on our playfloor in Westbury On Trym.
Open to members and non-members, just book in below!
