Thu 11 – Sun 14 June 2026
Organised by the Dundee Play Forum and built on the idea that ‘play is for everyone’, Dundee Play Festival will join a growing international movement that recognises play as essential to healthy communities and thriving cities.
From Thu 11– Sun 14 June 2026, communities across the city will be invited to explore, imagine and connect through the joy of play. Supported by NHS Tayside Charitable Trust and Foundation Scotland, the Dundee Play Festival will feature a lively programme of hands-on activities, interactive performances and creative experiences designed to spark curiosity and imagination.
The festival is committed to creating a welcoming and accessible environment where people of all backgrounds, abilities and generations can take part and have fun! Residents and visitors alike are invited to join the celebration and rediscover the joy of play through sport, drama, music, dance, and games across the city.
If you’d like to be involved in bringing Dundee Play Festival to life, register your interest at the link below! They want to hear from artists, digital and board game creators, community organisations, dancers, musicians, sports clubs, performers and everyone who views play as a key part of their work.
Share some ideas for events or activities, give an indication of support required and when you’d be available, and the project co-ordinator will be in touch with more information.
