Wednesday 5 August is Playday - the annual celebration of children's right to play. On Playday and throughout the summer, thousands of children, young people and their communities will get out and play across the UK.
Playday events range from small neighbourhood gatherings to large public events organised by local authorities and national organisations. Previous years have seen children taking over city centres, enjoying the great outdoors, having massive mud pie fights, and building dens in parks and on village greens.
Now in its 22nd year, the Playday campaign continues to grow. Over 550 events were registered last year, making Playday the biggest celebration of children's play in Europe, and possibly the world.
