Hundreds of local children and young people are expected to take part in some free fun activities in celebration of National Playday next Wednesday (4 August). The majority of this year’s events will take place in the city centre pedestrianised area, in front of the Old Town between 10am and 4pm based on the theme ‘Our place!’ and calls for everyone to make time for play. ·
