Playday is the national day for play in the UK, traditionally held on the first Wednesday in August. This year’s Playday takes place on Wednesday 7 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.
