Three almost spring like days of ‘walkshopping’ and playing within Chalkwell Park as well as in the streets beyond – all the way down to the seaside. ‘Southendians’ certainly know their play and the town and were very generous with their time and ideas. METAL hospitality was also a treat and we can’t wait to get back to do some more research in coming weeks before we decide what to play where….Here are some images of play so far…
On Saturday the 19th March between 2-4pm we’ll run our first public ‘walkshop’ – come join us- we’ll be exploring Chalkwell Park, discovering playful ways to interact and discover the area through your eyes and memories, as we work on Play Southend – the App, which will be launched at Village Green Festival on the 9th July 2016.
The walk is free and we promise it will be fun and inspiring. We will start from Chalkwell Hall and return there for light refreshments. To find out more and book a place – visit our Eventbrite page.
Last week we went to Southend to start planning the ‘walkshops’ (16th-19th March – with only the 19th open to the public- booking details will follow soon). We met some very playful Southenders as well as Julian Hughes who took some lovely photos. We were blessed with wonderful sunshine too so all in all we’re getting very excited about this next phase of the project…
