JohnYoung people in West Leeds can look forward to a summer of outdoor fun as the annual Breeze In The Park entertainment extravaganza celebrates a special milestone.
Organised by Leeds City Council, the roadshow-style programme will see more than 25 interactive play days for children and teenagers taking place in various parks and green spaces over the next five weeks.
Each day’s attendees will be able to enjoy an array of activities, featuring everything from sports and games to art and music – and Breeze’s giant inflatables.
Local events are,
- 30 July – Harehills Park, Harehills,
- 5 Aug – Haslewood Park, Oxton Way, Burnantofts
- 12 Aug – East End Park, East Park Parade
- 20 Aug – Seacroft Village Green
Sessions are between 12-2.30pm and 3-5.30pm
There is a relaxed session for children with additional needs at the East End Park event from 11am-12pm.
Tickets are 50p per child, per session.
A spokesperson said: “When inside the event all our inflatables, arts and craft activities are free. Additional costs include food, drink, and some optional activities such as henna.
“We do accept walk-ups but only if there is capacity. If an event is sold out we can often still accept walk-ups but this isn’t guaranteed. We advise booking to avoid disappointment. If you do want to just walk up please bring your 50p in correct change.”
Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council’s executive member for adult social care, active lifestyles and culture, said: “So many young people have enjoyed Breeze get-togethers in our wonderful parks and green spaces since 2004, with the programme’s continued focus on fun, inclusivity and value-for-money reflecting our determination to ensure Leeds is the best city in the country to grow up in.
“It’s lovely to think that some parents bringing their own families to this summer’s events will once have attended as children themselves and are now set to make a whole host of magical new memories.”
