Lets All Play is a new service for Disabled Children and their families. Working in partnership with Bristol City Council, Playbus will work with you and your child to offer a range of free, inclusive play activities at adventure playgrounds.

Our experienced playworkers have worked with a wide range of children in many different settings. We will use our friendly, adaptable approach to ensure everyone can join in.

Let’s All Play sessions will offer a range of activities including music, cooking, arts and crafts and, of course, the challenge of exploring adventure playgrounds and children’s freely chosen play activities.

Your child is welcome to any Adventure Playground session. However, during Lets All Play sessions there will be additional playworkers to cater for the needs of the children.
