Playday: 7 August

On Playday, thousands of children and their families get out to play at hundreds of community events across the UK.

About This Campaign

Playday is the national day for play in the UK, traditionally held on the first Wednesday in August. Next year's Playday takes place on Wednesday 7th August 2019.

On Playday, thousands of children and their families get out to play at hundreds of community events across the UK.

From small-scale community events to thousands of children taking part in events organised in parks and open spaces – Playday is celebrated by each community in a way that suits them.

As well as a celebration of children's right to play, Playday is a campaign that highlights the importance of play in children's lives.
