Picnic & Play with the Bridgeton Hub!
Getting ready for the Storyplay Festival!
Find out what the Bridgeton Group did during our Picnic & Play session at the Children’s Wood!
Saturday 6th July
A sunny Picnic & Play for our Bridgeton friends at The Meadow & Children’s Wood!
Saturday morning shone dry and bright for our Bridgeton families who came to Picnic & Play with Licketyspit and the Meadow & Children’s Woods looked even more beautiful and full of life.
Sarah, Andre, Virginia & Taz had everything ready for any weather changes so we could all have shelter and Steven went to Bridgeton to meet all our friends and bring them over to the place where we will also host our Licketyspit’s Storyplay Festival next Saturday 13th of July! We can wait to see the Meadow & Children’s Wood bursting with families, imaginary play, food, fun & laughter! Many friends of Licketyspit from all over Glasgow will gather and hang out in celebration of play & community!
But back to the Bridgeton Picnic & Play…
Our circle was so big!.
We had an energising warm up and then Alison told us about the Children’s Woods and how the local community campaigned to keep it from being turned into houses so people could enjoy a beautiful green space in the city. After that we had a Funky Chicken massive!.
The time to explore arrived and so we marched at the tune of Miss Mary Mac and found the perfect spot for the big Bridgeton group to locate their Bridgeton Den for the upcoming StoryPlay Festival!
The Bridgeton Den will be decorated with photos and bunting made out of self portraits that everyone created right after a nice and much needed picnic and a drink!
The self portraits looked fantastic hanging together on a line and made the most striking bit of bunting fit to be displayed in any festival!
There was time for tree climbing, exploring, running around and catch up with friends and all along the sun smiled and kissed our cheeks. We even had time for William to share a new game with us all about hiding and being found only by following the sounds that the people hiding make! Very exciting. And we also played a big round of ‘I Sent A Letter to My Love’ that everyone enjoyed very much.
It was yet another great day out with our Bridgeton friends who were really taken by how lovely and welcoming the Meadow & Children’s Woods are. And guess what? We get to visit all over again next Saturday 13th of July for an even bigger Storyplay extravaganza.
Cannae wait to see yous all there!!
Lots of love,
Sarah, Steven, Andre, Virginia, Taz & our Bridgeton Friends!
