Dates, fees & sites
When we run
Leyland Playscheme runs for two weeks every summer, one week at each of our two sites. Children aged 4 to 14 are welcome, and we are proud to support a wide range of needs wherever we possibly can.
| Week | Dates | Ages |
|---|---|---|
| Leyland | 3–7 August 2026 | 4–14 |
| Samlesbury | 10–14 August 2026 | 4–14 |
Talk to us before you register if your child has additional needs. We will plan the week together — it is much easier to get right in advance than on the morning.
Fees and what they cover
The scheme is not free, but it is heavily subsidised by our fundraising and supporters. The fee covers a full week of activities, trips and outings — remarkable value for what is included.
- Five full days of activities
- All trips and coach travel
- Craft and sports materials
- Trained, DBS-checked volunteers
- Packed lunch and drink
- Suncream and a hat
- A coat, whatever the forecast
- Old clothes — they will get messy
Common questions
Yes — many children do. Register for each week separately and we will do the rest.
Doors open at 9am and the day finishes at 3.30pm. Please arrive a few minutes early on the Monday — the first morning always takes a little longer.
We support a wide range of needs wherever we possibly can, including one-to-one support. Talk to us before you register and we will plan the week together.
The scheme runs whatever the weather — we move indoors, swap the programme around, and carry on. Pack a coat.
