Picnic in the Park

Wednesday 18th June,  10am–2pm

 

This year’s annual ‘picnic’ organised by the Pre-School Learning Alliance is planned for Wednesday 18th June, from 10am-2pm. (There is an alternative date of 25th June if rain tries to disrupt our plans).

 

The ‘picnic’ takes place at Parsons Close recreation ground, behind the town Post Office, by the new skateboard park, and is a special community event for the town’s pre-schoolers. Many hundreds of toddlers, babies, parents, child-minders and grandparents meet - generally in bright sunshine – to enjoy a day of fun.

 

There are stalls, a bouncy castle, baby animals to cuddle, and other exciting events! Many of the pre-schools will be there, so check them out too. All this AND the playground and paddling pool!

 

Fingers crossed for good weather – don’t forget a picnic and some suncream!

 

Leighton Buzzard NCT branch will have a feeding/changing tent at this annual local event. C ome along & visit us!

 

Parsons Close Recreation Ground, Leighton Buzzard. Free entry.
