Conference explores the joy of play

 

Laxey Pavillion will be alive with play today and tomorrow (4, 5 October).

The Children's Centre is hosting a Play Conference to explore the importance of play in a youngster's physical and social development.

The event will feature a range of workshops and speakers include Tim Gill - one of the leading thinkers on childhood in the UK.

Today's events will be repeated in full tomorrow (Saturday) and children are welcome to join for some hands-on playtime.

For information about how to register for the conference, contact the Children's Centre on 676076.

Play-Development Officer Chris Gregory says children deserve the opportunity to make memories:
