Great to breathe life into under-used space in Shipley Town Centre today at #toddlertown despite 🥶 families stayed to #play enjoying the chalk, slide & fairy doors. Simple but effective. So many connecting convos between carers & older people that don’t happen in playgrounds

Shipley Toddler Town with Street Space today til 3pm outside Shipley Library.
We loved the wind chimes, chalking + fairy door.
Wouldn't it be exciting if the new Shipley Market Square redevelopment used play + fun to create a welcoming space + attract families into the centre?

Just 2 more sleeps until pop up #toddlertown in Shipley.. we’re temporarily reimagining public space to centre play & curiosity at approx 95cm & gathering feedback on impact of creating a sense of permission to play!
