Playday 2025: Celebrating "Spaces for Play" across Wales

Playday, the national day for play, takes place this year on Wednesday, 6 August 2025, with the theme #SpacesForPlay2025.

This year’s theme highlights the vital importance of accessible, inclusive spaces where children and young people can play freely, connect with friends, and feel valued as part of their community. Children will play anywhere and everywhere, which is why access to quality, playful spaces are essential for their happiness, development, and overall well-being.
