Play in the Park
Play in the Park (PitP) is a series of free, two-hour multi-activity sessions run for children at community and parish venues.
Play in the Park runs at multiple community venues during the Easter and summer school holidays, for children aged between three and 11.
Children can join our playworkers to play, create and take part in fun sports, games and craft activities at a park near you. Some sessions also feature additional activities such as inflatables or parkour.
Sessions are suitable for everyone, including those with accessible needs. Please call our team on 01245 606569 if you need any further information.
- To guarantee your space, you must book your free tickets in advance.
- If you arrive at a session without booking, we may have to turn you away if there are no spaces.
- There will be a maximum of 300 children in each session.
- Spaces for each session are on a first-come-first-served basis.
All children must be supervised (within the park / venue grounds) by a responsible adult, parent or guardian throughout the whole session. This is to ensure the safety of all children at our sessions.
We will not be responsible for any child who attends or is left at a session on their own.
You must only book the sessions that you are definitely planning to attend. We have plenty of capacity and are very rarely fully booked. You can book a session on the day if you wish.
If you do have to cancel your booking, you should do this at least 24 hours in advance. If you cancel after this time, or do not show up for a Play in the Park session that you have booked, we reserve the right to remove any future bookings you have made and ultimately block your access to the booking system.
You can cancel your booking by contacting us via TicketSource or by emailing playinthepark@chelmsford.gov.uk
- You cannot drop your child off and leave them at the session unattended. A responsible adult, parent or guardian has to stay with your child.
- You need to book tickets for any children attending, but you do not need to book any adult tickets.
- Some (but not all) sessions will have extra activities available also for free. You don't need to book these activities, but some may have a capacity limit, so we recommend you arrive early to grab a space.
