They will take place throughout the county.

Children across Wiltshire can join in this year’s celebration of play which will take place across the county.

Playday, the annual celebration of children’s right to play is on Wednesday August 5th and Wiltshire Council has joined forces with local organisations to offer free events around the county.

Trowbridge will be celebrating this summer and children are encouraged to join in with activities such as messy and water play, face and t-shirt painting, arts and crafts, drumming and team games. Events do not need to be pre-booked – children can just turn up and join in on the day.

Busy, hectic and often overscheduled lifestyles sometimes mean children don’t always get enough time to just play. This year’s Playday theme 'Make time!' - is calling for everyone to think about how they can make time for children’s play and also have a great day out on Playday.

Events take place on August 5th in Trowbridge Park, between 11.00am and 3.00pm. Organised by Trowbridge Town Council and Wiltshire Council, activities will include wet slides, mobile climbing wall, DJ's, junk modelling, face and t-shirt painting, messy play and pro-skating with ramps.
