Picnic & Play is Back!

25th September 2019

We are delighted to announce that Picnic & Play is back!

Licketyspit’s Picnic & Play sessions are free inter-generational drama-led play sessions for families with 3-8 year olds, in cultural centres around Glasgow and Edinburgh. Sessions include a delicious, healthy picnic and reflective drawing, where participants can share their thoughts and opinions about the games, rhymes, songs and imaginary play activities.

Picnic & Play is a Licketyspit Children & Families Network (CFN) project which aims to bring families with experience of the Lickety Playcard games together to play and explore new parts of their city.

Partner venues – like museums, galleries and parks – introduce participating families to their activities, and Licketyspit creates trails, games and play ideas to help families explore the venues after the family play session.

Picnic & Play is made possible thanks to Awards for All funding from the National Lottery. Priority is given to members of the CFN when allocating places, and to families from our Storyplay Schools.
