The Big Play

The Big Play An exciting indoor festival designed especially for little ones aged 0–6.
(1)

The Big Play brings together amazing local activities under one roof — with everything included in your ticket for stress-free family fun! Discover the very BEST activities, classes, and play experiences that your local area has to offer. Hosted by Little City, The Big Play is a fun-filled mini indoor event where families with toddlers and preschoolers can explore, learn, and enjoy a wide range of

local groups and activities. From interactive workshops and creative classes, to thrilling play zones and entertainment, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We know how important play can be... and by running our Little City events in the local community we have had the pleasure of meeting with and working alongside other small businesses, entertainers and activity class leaders. The Big Play has been designed to bring you the best of all these activities, and all in one place!

🌈 THE BIG PLAY IPSWICH 🌈

What an incredible day of PLAY! As we all take a well-earned rest, here’s a little snapshot of the magic that unfolded.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us - from our amazing exhibitors to all the families who came along with their little ones. You made the day truly special.

At The Big Play, our mission is simple: to create a space where children can explore, create, learn, and most importantly… play.

We can’t wait to do it all again… where are we heading next I wonder 🤭
