Your play street

On the day, arrange to meet and brief your stewards at least 15 minutes before the road is due to close so that they are clear about their role. As long as the road is closed and stewarded safely you can more or less let everything else take care of itself – children will make their own fun and adults will make their own tea! Enjoy it and do share your photos and stories on our Facebook group if you’d like to – you can inspire and support others to do the same.

You can read more about this stage in the Playing Out manual, and/ or watch our 18min in-depth stewarding video made with Sustrans.
