The Playful Escape
A celebration of all things playful! Escape the city and get lost in a day festival championing the importance of playfulness as an adult. Why do we stop playing and how can weave a bit more playfulness into our everyday? Co-produced by Antidote, The Flying Racoon, & PeachyFace, The Playful Escape is an opportunity to reconnect with your sense of fun, imagination and above all, play A LOT of games. Dip into inspiring talks, active workshops & creative activities throughout the day or come for the whole thing (much advised obvs.)
For this special edition of the Playful Escape we are joining The Great Get Together, who call for all sorts of community celebrations in honour of Jo Cox’s beliefs that we have more in common. On the 17th of June thousands of neighbourhoods will be sharing food or organising street parties so we thought it would be the perfect day to come together.
NB. Kids v welcome, but this one’s really for the adults. So bring your Mrs, your mates and your kids, or just your playful self.
