Seminar Details

Snug is a radical new approach to school playground equipment. It consists of a family of large scale modular play elements for children to create their own dynamic, exciting playscape – where they can have fun, explore & learn. This is a chance to hear the designer of Snug give practical examples of how schools are using Snug as a creative learning resource across the curriculum.

revolution now

A quick post to welcome our beautiful new-look website and celebrate the launch of the snug kit at Fitzjohns, Hattie and Tim's old school. It's also the launch of S&O's campaign for free play.

If you support the work Snug & Outdoor has done to promote creative play, please encourage schools you know to buy the amazing Snug kit. Children love it, however they're not the people who buy it.

rolling and roles

Here's a nice pic Tim took of people rolling down a grass slope at the Thames Barrier Park.

Hattie is a speaker at the forthcoming Places to Play conference which will launch Luton's Playbuilder programme. She will be talking about how we can deliver a truly playable public realm and what role artists can play.
