Wed 6th Aug Playday, the annual celebration of children's right to play takes place on Wednesday 6th August 2008. This year's theme 'Give us a go!' highlights the benefits of allowing children to manage their own risks whilst playing and aims to counter the risk-averse 'cotton wool' culture that can limit children's play. Hundreds of fantastic events will be taking place across the UK. To celebrate this year's theme we are organising a Playday event right here in Ramsgate, Kent. Playday will be happening at Newington Children's Centre and Newington Community Primary School from 10am- 4pm.
