Playday 2008

Playday - Our streets too!

WHAT'S PLAYDAY?

Playday is the annual celebration of children's right to play.

Playday 2008 was on Wednesday 6 August.

On Playday and throughout the summer of 2008, thousands of children, young people and communities will get out and play at hundreds of locally organised events across the UK.

This year's Playday campaign theme, Give us a go! calls for children to be allowed challenging and adventurous play opportunities and aims to shake off the 'cotton wool' culture that can limit children’s play.

Anyone can hold a Playday celebration or join in a local event. Let's make Playday 2008 the biggest and best yet!
