Summer of play

Join us for a jam-packed summer that's full of ways to play at Greenway.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

It's time for Summer of Play!

Discover every flavour of play at Greenway from 19 July - 3 September. Create, explore, move, wonder, make-believe. Try it all, find your favourite, come back again and again.

Fun has no age limit and with a range of activities designed to test your skills, there'll be something for everyone to get stuck into.

Inspired by a travelling circus, test your strength and balance, twist and bend with circus inspired yoga and try out your juggling skills.

Try it all, find your favourite, come back again and again. Summer of Play activities are free (normal admission applies). Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
