FAMILIES can join in the fun with two free town centre events to encourage and celebrate outdoor play.
The summer fun play days organised by Dudley Council will include giant games, sand pits, storytelling, leisure activities and face painting.
The events, which will run from 11am to 3pm, will take place on September 1 at Brierley Hill’s Moor Centre and on September 2 near Netherton Park’s Northfield Road entrance.
Councillor Khurshid Ahmed, cabinet member for planning and economic development, said: “By hosting these events we want to encourage families to enjoy going back to basics and playing outdoors.
"The days are also timed to coincide with the end of the holidays so that families can enjoy a fun day out before going back to school.
“These sessions are different to ones that we have organised before in town centres as they are simply encouraging kids to play on bikes, with skipping ropes and have fun outdoors.
"We will see what interest there is and if they prove to be popular we will consider running similar days in the future.”
