The Play and Creativity Festival is an opportunity to showcase the ways play and creativity permeate our teaching, research and professional activities. Whether physical, game-based, imaginative, communal, noisy, quiet or solitary, play makes an important contribution to University life. This festival is a jam packed programme of playful events involving everything from LEGO, balloons and maggot racing to gamified learning and playful food. Feel free to go to all, or any, of the open sessions throughout the week (there is no need to sign up) for teaching inspiration and to have some fun in the final week of the semester. Have a look at the feedback on the 2019 festival to see what participants and contributors thought or watch the video below for a flavour of the festival.

After the success of last year’s Play and Creativity Festival play tent, we will be hosting events in here again. The play tent will be located on the Dytche where there will be various activities running throughout the day. If you would like to host a session or bring your class down to the tent to use the space and resources, please email play@winchester.ac.uk
