Join the Neighbourhood Play Movement in Leeds

Bringing Play to Every Corner of Our Communities!

At Playful Anywhere, we believe that free, unstructured play and creativity should be at the heart of city centres. But our vision doesn’t stop thereβ€”we’re just as passionate about fostering playfulness in our neighbourhoods and communities, ensuring that people of all ages have opportunities to connect, create, and have fun.

🎭 Introducing the Playcart! 🎭

As part of a growing peer neighbourhood network in Leeds, we've been developing shareable resources to spark joy and connection, including:

βœ… 3 fully stocked Playcarts – ready to roam!
βœ… Play prompts & ideas for all ages
βœ… A treasure trove of quirky, fun activities

✨ March Playcart Test Drives! ✨

We’d love to see communities take the Playcart for a wander around their local green and grey spaces, blow a few bubbles, and connect with neighbours.
