West Leeds youngsters can look forward to fun times in the great outdoors as the annual Breeze In The Park entertainment programme returns for another summer.
Organised by Leeds City Council, the roadshow-style programme will see a total of 26 low-cost play days taking place in local communities over the next month.
Each event will be held in a different park or green space and will feature interactive activities such as arts, crafts, sports and games together with Breeze’s much-loved giant inflatables.
The programme gets under way today (Wednesday, July 23) at Belle Isle’s Coopers Field and will finish at Wortley Recreation Ground on August 21.
In between times, events will take place in Armley, Bramley, Farsley, Horsforth, Kirkstall and Pudsey.
The visits to Armley, Kirkstall and Wortley will include quieter and more relaxed sessions for those with additional needs.
And to help families plan their summer to-do lists, the council’s Child Friendly Leeds team has now produced – with support from partners and stakeholders – a handy guide giving full details of what’s on and when.
The guide covers everything from magic shows at Leeds City Museum and workshops at Leeds Discovery Centre to film screenings at Hyde Park Picture House and children’s activities at Leeds Kirkgate Market – as well, of course, as Breeze In The Park.
Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council’s executive member for adult social care, active lifestyles and culture, said: “By making the events low-cost, taking them out into so many different communities and running sessions for those with additional needs, we aim to ensure they are as accessible and inclusive as possible.
All of the Breeze In The Park events will have one main session, running from midday to 4pm.
Additional needs sessions will run from 11am to midday, with those attending them being welcome to stay on for the afternoon activities at no extra charge.
Tickets for all sessions cost £1 each and must be bought in advance. Purchases can be made here or, for additional needs sessions, here. A full list of event dates and locations can be found on the same web pages.
