Summer of Playdays

Summer of Playdays

Somerset Council are preparing for a summer of play days for young people.

Sedgemoor Playday will take place on Wednesday 2nd August between 10am and 3pm at Apex Park, Highbridge. This free event allows parents to have a day-off from spending their hard-earned cash as well as allowing families to spend quality time together.

With over 40 activities including a climbing wall, inflatables, archery, family circus, football, tennis and much more there is something for everyone, but all children must be accompanied by an adult.

We are also hosting 12 free Playdays across South Somerset from 1st until 24th August. Sessions run from 10 am until 2pm and children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult for all activities.
