It's August, which can only mean one thing....... PLAYDAY on 6th August!

National Playday will be celebrated in the main park next Wednesday from midday until 4pm. Whilst we are heavily involved, this is a YO Solihull event and is brought to you by a wide range of local children's and young people's voluntary organisations and with support from SMBC.

There will be lots of fun on the main field with a town games/fete-type theme this year. (Think tug-o-war and three legged races!)

The Playground will be open 12-4pm on this day and you will still need your QR code (registration) to get in.

There is no parking and no parking allowed on verges close to the park so please walk (this is one of the conditions of the event and people respecting this helps with our application next year!)

Disabled parking is available for those that need it but you must have a valid badge with you.

As a children's event, the site is an alcohol free zone and we ask that all smoking/vaping is outside of the event.
