FREE FAMILY FUN TO SPARK YOUNG IMAGINATIONS TO BE OFFERED EVERY FRIDAY AT THE GREAT NORTHERN

In addition to its popular free Sandpit and Play House, The Great Northern will be launching Free Play Fridays, starting Friday 5th July, in its iconic outdoor amphitheatre.

The weekly sessions, run by highly experienced and professional play-facilitators,  will inspire parents to encourage imaginative play, whilst children interact with the natural materials provided.  

During each session, which runs from 11am – 3pm, families can have a go at building everything from top secret dens or skyscraper sandcastles, all whilst making friends with other children.

Centre Director for Great Northern, Mark Schofield, said: “We not only recognise the value of outdoor play for children, but have also seen how parents enjoy having some help and inspiration in different ways to play with their little ones – that is what our play facilitators are brilliant at.

“Great Northern provides a central hub in the city for all ages, and we think play sessions like these can contribute towards building a stronger Great Northern community.”

Sessions will be run by Forest School Practitioners who are fully DBS checked, and will take place weekly until September as part of  On The Beach’s Great Northern Summer in the amphitheatre.
