Playbox is coming to Somers Town this summer!

Playbox is a shipping container filled with playful stuff.

We’ve got some golden oldies (swingball, ping pong, hopscotch), kid’s faves (lego), some surprises and a bit of random junk (wait! we mean, the biggest and best pirate ship there ever was!)

Drop in for play sessions over the summer - watch this space for dates and times.

Get in touch if you’d like to learn more, want to get involved or if you have ideas for fun. The Somers Town Playbox is here to be whatever you want to be!

This is a collaboration between Outdoor People, Playful Anywhere and The PlayWorks Studio. Funded by Camden Council. 

All-age community building, done playfully.  Let’s hang out and have fun!
