Playfest!

About

PlayFest! is an amazing action-packed day of fun hands-on play and games for all ages in Aldershot. There are oodles of free activities to look forward to throughout the town centre on Saturday 24 August from 10am to 4pm. It's free!

Children can zoom to space in a virtual reality experience, join a dragon fossil dig, spray a street art mural, try crazy science experiments, pluck a ukulele, visit the magical story corner, make forest-themed crafts, watch a bonkers balloon science show, play with some noisy toys, have a kickabout, climb inside a giant adventure cave, create a fajita fiesta snack, learn karate moves, engineer a K-NEX invention, peak inside some beehives, try a mini assault course, join a ukulele jam and lots more! For toddlers, there's sensory games and a messy play station.

The Workshop Marquee offers amazing opportunities for families to jump feet first into a world of pure creativity, make new friends and learn something new. Families will be able to take part in a mini-rave party, music, martial arts and dancing workshops.
