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!

That means space to explore, plenty to do, and lots of opportunities for little ones to play at their own pace.

And the best bit?

EVERYTHING is INCLUDED.
EVERYTHING is UNLIMITED.

No choosing. No extra charges. Just non-stop play! 🙌

💙 W R I S T B A N D S 💙

The safety of every child at our events is always our number one priority.

On arrival, every child will be given a wristband for you to write your phone number on. That way, if you and your little one become separated, our team can help reunite you as quickly as possible. 💙

📍 When you arrive, we’ll point out our Lost Child Point and First Aid Point, so you know exactly where to go should you need them.

👀 It’s also a great idea to let your children know that all of our event staff will be wearing blue high-vis jackets. If they get lost or need help, they’ll know who they can safely approach.

💡 TOP TIP: If your little one doesn’t like wearing a wristband, pop it around their ankle instead!

We want everyone to have the best day at Big Play UK and a little preparation helps us keep your little ones safe.
