The Spirit of Adventure Play is a lively, relaxed and challenging conference for adventure playground workers and playworkers who believe in the ethos of adventure playgrounds.

If you can only attend one playwork conference a year the Spirit of Adventure Play ticks all the boxes - with a lively mix of learning, networking and socialising opportunities. This is Spirits tenth anniversary and it is still as popular as ever with everyone from beginner playworkers to managers. It covers both the practical and theoretical aspects of playwork as described in the Playwork Principles and much more.

This year we had contributions from Stuart Lester, Perry Else, Eddie Nuttall, Ali Wood, Grant Lambie, Bristol Scrapstore Playpods, Jess Milne and many more plus exciting practical workshops. A selection of presentations from the conference are available to download on the Conference Reports page of this website.

Here are some comments by this year's delegates:

'This is the first time I've been, I will be returning. Very inspirational. A great opportunity to have fun and realise the true concept of play.'

'Food amazing. Speakers amazing.'

'Got a lot out of it - very keen to take ideas forward within our county.'

'A good mixture ... Reaffirmation of why I do what I do.'

'Great balance between hands on and theory.'
