Families across Swansea are being invited to enjoy a day of free activities as National Play Day returns to the National Waterfront Museum on Wednesday 5 August.
Running from 11am to 2pm, the event will feature a packed programme of activities designed to encourage creativity, imagination and active play for children of all ages.
Among the highlights will be circus skills and interactive games from Circus Eruption, including a giant Earth Ball and parachute games. Visitors can also enjoy arts and crafts, den building, walkabout characters, face painting and Welsh rhyme time sessions.
The event will also feature live music, information stalls and a range of activities delivered by Swansea Council’s Play Sufficiency Team alongside local play partners.
All activities are free, giving families the chance to come together and celebrate the importance of play in children’s lives.
A quieter hour will be held from 10am to 11am for children who prefer a calmer environment with reduced noise and stimulation, helping to ensure the event is as inclusive and welcoming as possible.
Councillor Alyson Anthony, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families, said: “Play is such an important part of childhood, helping children build confidence, develop social skills and simply have fun. National Play Day is a fantastic opportunity for families to come together and enjoy a wide range of activities in a safe and welcoming environment. I’d encourage everyone to come along and be part of the celebrations.”
