Congleton Town Council Brings Free Summer Play Days to the Town Centre

Congleton Town Council is delighted to launch its popular Summer Play Days, bringing four free days of family fun to Congleton town centre throughout the school holidays.

The Play Days will take place every Tuesday from 28 July to 18 August, between 10.30am and 2.30pm, with each week offering a different theme packed with exciting activities for children and families to enjoy.

From nature exploration and sports challenges to music, animals and creative arts, there will be something for everyone. The events are completely free, with no booking required, making them the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy quality time together close to home.

These free events are a fantastic way of bringing our community together, encouraging people to enjoy everything our town centre has to offer whilst trying out a different theme each week. There's plenty to discover, and I would encourage everyone to come along and join in the fun."
