MORE THAN 2,800 people went to this year’s Denbighshire national play day event in Rhyl, held on August 2.

Following the successful event last year, this was the seventh time the hugely popular free play day event was held at Christchurch Playing Fields in Rhyl.

Rhyl’s Oak Tree Centre hosted the event, organised by Denbighshire County Council’s play ranger service to help children enjoy their summer holiday.

The free event featured a number of activities including a circus skills session, Jurassic Live, den building, arts and crafts and a water slip and slide.

Dawn Anderson, Denbighshire childcare and play development manager, said: “It was great to welcome families back for the seventh time to this year’s play day, this event is always so popular with local families.

“It is always lovely to see families enjoying themselves and the feedback we received from the attendees was positive once again this year.”
