National Play Day at National Waterfront Museum

The National Play Day at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea is an unmissable family activity this summer! Taking place on the 6th of August, this fun-filled event is perfect for children of all ages, and it’s entirely free! This year’s theme, Spaces to Play, promises a day packed with exciting activities that will both entertain and educate.

From 10am to 4pm, the museum will be buzzing with a variety of engaging activities. Circus Eruption will be there with their fantastic circus skills and games, featuring a giant Earth Ball and parachute games that are sure to delight the kids. It’s a great way for children to burn off some energy and learn new skills in a fun, supportive environment.

For those who love getting creative, there will be arts and crafts stations where kids can make their own nature-inspired masterpieces. And if your little ones enjoy hands-on activities, the den building sessions will be a hit. They can learn how to construct their own little hideaways, sparking their imagination and teamwork skills.

Adding to the fun atmosphere, there will be walkabout characters mingling with the crowd, face painting to transform the kids into their favourite animals or characters, and a Welsh rhyme time session for a touch of local culture. The day will also feature live music, making it a true celebration of play and creativity.

Parents can explore the information stalls to learn more about local resources and activities for families, and everyone will be treated to a spectacular confetti finale to round off the day.

For children who prefer a quieter environment, there will be a Quiet Hour from 10am to 11am. This is a wonderful opportunity for kids who enjoy a calmer, less stimulating setting to join in the fun and celebrate National Play Day in a way that suits them best.
