Fun for Pokémon Go fans among Playday's exciting free events

A Pokémon Go 'poké walk' is one of the highlights on offer at Playday taking place at Ravenscourt Park this Wednesday, August 3.

During the poké walk, lures will be placed at the park’s poké stops to increase the chance for fans of the globally popular augmented reality game to catch a rare creature.

Playday, one of the biggest events of the year for children and families, will also feature displays of double-dutch skipping by JumpLDN, urban olympics from the London Sports Trust and a wealth of stalls offering more opportunities for play.

The council has once again teamed up John Parnham Funfairs who will be running a number of fairground rides for free, from 3pm.

There will also be stalls offering information on childcare, road safety, fitness and recycling. In addition, there will be steel pan music, and even basketball coaching.

John Parnham Funfairs will also be operating a fairground at Ravenscourt Park until 7 August.

" Playday is one of the best days of the year for children and their families," said Cllr Sue Macmillan, H&F Cabinet Member for Children and Education.

" This year we’re capturing the buzz of Pokémon Go with our fun poké walk. We urge everyone to come down on the day and enjoy the free rides, activities and games."
