During our flash mob on Saturday one of the actions drew considerable attention and smiles. We asked participants to ‘draw a line with chalk, greet/wave and beckon people to follow you along the line’.

We’ve launched the app! We did it at Peterborough Arts Festival as planned with the help of wonderful volunteers who created a flash mob event in Cathedral Square. Here are just some of the images of actions as we gathered . The film will follow – watch this space…

We need your help to launch Play Peterborough Now or Never with a bang!
On Saturday the 5th and Sunday 6th September 2015, during Peterborough Arts Festival, we’ll be launching Peterborough’s first playful app.
Beta testing is ongoing… we cannot say much more apart from how very excited we are to see it come together…when it works – it really works!! watch this space for updates and mark date in your diary for the launch of Peterborough’s first playful app- it will take place as part of Peterborough’s Arts Festival on 5th and 6th September- more details will follow
We are getting ready to test Play Peterborough Now or Never! -the app…On Saturday 25th July – please join us to see the app come to life!
We’ll be at Metal’s chauffeurs cottage between 11am and 3pm. We’ll have a map to guide you and links to download the app from (on both android and iphones and if you haven’t got one of those – drop us a line and we’ll work out a way to make sure you don’t miss out). Please book on our eventbrite page so we get an idea of the numbers and do help us spread the word- we’d like to have as many testers as possible.
Another full day of playing the city – a small but wonderful group of adult learners in the morning and ‘sense’ Peterborough group in the afternoon.

Today we walked with two schools – in the morning the primary school kept us busy and in the afternoon the sixth form students entertained us. We learnt a lot more about playing peterborough from these experts in their field.
Our last ‘Open Walk’ (a few more invited groups due soon) before the App testing begins took place under sparkling sun.
We balanced on something or someone in the passageway by the tourist office, and walked backwards in silence in front of the Cathedral with the wind in our backs… and with an audience of astonished onlookers…
We are getting ready for the final public walk before App testing begins. (we walk with pre booked groups- get in touch if you want to know more) Join us on 6th June 2-4pm to have an input in the App content! We will leave from Metal as usual and come back there for chat, tea and cake…
We will explore a new part of the city centre while playing games and talking about the places – like in other walks – though so far – each walk is unique!
Do join us – you can book here or on the tab on the red tab on the left (or on our FB page)- to find out more about Metal and where they are- go here.
Please share this far and wide – we don’t want anyone to miss out!
