It's time for Summer of Play!
Discover every flavour of play at Greenway from 18 July - 2 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 the garden party in Agatha Christie's novel Dead Man's Folly, have some good old fashioned fun with traditional games and on selected dates join in with circus skills workshops.
Try it all, find your favourite, come back again and again. Summer of Play activities are free (normal admission applies).
