Playday is the annual celebration of
children's right to play.
Playday 2008 was on Wednesday 6 August.
On Playday and throughout the summer of 2008, thousands of
children, young people and communities got out to play at hundreds
of locally organised events across the UK.
The 2008 campaign theme, Give us a go! called for children
to be allowed challenging and adventurous play opportunities and
aimed to shake off the 'cotton wool' culture that can limit
children’s play.
Over 500 events took place across the country, making Playday
2008 the biggest on record!

Playday 2008 was supported by Persil.
The Playday 2009 campaign theme will be Make
time!
This Playday we're asking everyone to make time for
play. Playday 2009 will be on Wednesday 5
August.
