Play Sessions for Children in Knottingley

Open access — just turn up and play

What sessions do you run?

We run play sessions after school during term time and throughout the day during school holidays. Children aged 5–16 can attend any session — open access means no appointments, no barriers, just turn up.

🏫

After-School Sessions

Term-time sessions running Monday to Friday after school. Children choose their own adventure — climbing, building, creating, or just running wild with friends.

What actually happens during a session?

Children choose what they want to do — outdoor adventure play, arts and crafts, sports, or just hanging out. All supported by qualified play workers who know them by name. The children lead. We support.
