FREE TOWN CENTRE OUTDOOR PLAY

Dudley Council is inviting families to join in the fun with two free town centre events that encourage and celebrate outdoor play.

The Summer Fun Play Days will include giant games, sand pits, storytelling, leisure activities, face painting and more. 

The events, which run from 11am to 3pm, will take place on Thursday 1 September at LCP's Moor Centre in Brierley Hill and on Friday 2 September near Netherton Park’s Northfield Road entrance.

Councillor Khurshid Ahmed, cabinet member for planning and economic development, said:

“By hosting these events we want to encourage families to enjoy going back to basics and playing outdoors. The days are also timed to coincide with the end of the holidays so that families can enjoy a fun day out before going back to school.

“These sessions are different to ones that we have organised before in town centres as they are simply encouraging kids to play on bikes, with skipping ropes and have fun outdoors.  We will see what interest there is and if they prove to be popular we will consider running similar days in the future.”
