The Play Day event offers a range of woodland themed activities for all the family. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust 
, Bird Aware Solent , Hampshire Healthy Families , Hampshire Healthy Steps and Let's Talk Fareham Roadshow will also be in attendance. Due to the event taking place within a woodland, the ground can be uneven in places so sensible shoes and outdoor clothing are advised.
Families are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy a day in the woods, with activities such as den building, woodland crafts and more! This year children can make a jellyfish, hedgehog collage, bird feeder and a leaf puppet.
Complete the activity stamp card and hand it back to the Everyone Active stand for a chance to win one of 4 prizes:
