What a privilege to have been involved in The Tempest temporary play area that has been up in York City Centre over the summer (and will be back for at least 5 more summers!).

We loved working with the team at York Bid.

We loved doing something new.

We loved playing on it!

We can't wait to see it back up next summer! 😎

It’s Volcano Day!! The floor really is LAVA!

Best thing in York since the Minster?!

We are all unbelievably proud of the team at Playscheme as the Tempest summer play area was officially opened in York City centre!

This a temporary play area that will feature in York for at least the next 5 summers.

Amazing design and build from the team.
