A Day for Play…family fun for everyone

A giant cardboard kingdom, junk funk, a spider mountain, stilt-walkers, tightrope walkers and impromptu performances are just some of the treats in store for those heading to Needham Lake this August for the second free children's festival, A Day for Play.

The event, which is funded by Mid Suffolk District Council, Big Lottery Fund and Activities Unlimited, will be held on Sunday August 7 from 11am – 5pm, and promises to be jam-packed full of fun and frivolity.

Children and families will be able to have creative and messy fun working alongside artists in a range of workshops including clay, tie-dye, giant painting, raft making and jewellery and fairy making. You can even create your own mini-garden or sculpture to take home with you.

There will more activities for under 5's too, with the introduction early years activity based on playing and learning about around animals, habitats and countryside with fascinating stories and puppetry.

Cllr Diana Kearsley, Mid Suffolk District Council's Portfolio Holder for the Community said: "We are really looking forward to seeing families having fun and joining in the many activities we have planned for our second year at Needham Lake. After a fantastic turnout last year with thousands of people attending last summer, we look forward to seeing families enjoying another action-packed day for all to enjoy."

Free car parking will be available on site.
