Special Events
Holiday Playschemes 2010
Free open access playschemes
Open access play projects are free to attend and usually aimed at children and young people aged 5 to 15 years. These projects provide children with access to exciting, challenging and stimulating play spaces staffed by trained Playworkers. Play opportunities on offer can range from den building and using tools to water and messy play to arts and crafts and sports and traditional games. Play can often get messy so we recommend being dressed in clothes which are OK to get dirty.
Most play projects will be closed for National Playday on 4th August as staff will be involved in the large play event on Queens Square in the centre of Wrexham.
