We're back! One ticket booking per family. Party of 2? Party of 6? One ticket has got you covered.
Please only book the quiet hour if this soft start meets the specific needs of your family as these numbers are limited to keep it quiet! Quiet hour tickets include the whole event time until finish at 3pm.
Playful Gardens is OPEN to ALL FAMILIES, whilst being primarily designed for children and families who identify as having additional support needs. We are here to create an inclusive space, if you are too, then you are very welcome to join us!
These events might suit those who would like inclusive play opportunities and families awaiting assesment from CAMHS for a neurodevelopmental diagnosis such as ADHD/Autism. We prioritise tickets for our core audience through our organisational network and a portion of tickets are made available to all.
PAMIS changing facilities will be on site.
The whole family can come along and play together in a safe inclusive environment.
Please do bring along waterproofs and sunscreen to cover all the Scottish weather.
Please consider public transport for your travel needs. The following transport lines have routes that pass near the Botanic GardenBus: 16, 39, 5A
The car park is small and gets busy very quickly so there will be friendly staff on hand to assist you.
CAMHS, the University of Dundee's Botanic Garden, Art at the Start, DCA, Scrap Antics and Barnardo's have partnered up to make Playful Gardens! We offer a range of playful and creative activities that will be spread through the garden so you can choose what suits your family. Activities will include Loose Parts play with scrap antics, forest school and sensory activities from CAMHS, messy art with Art at the Start, more structured art workshops with DCA, indoor games and outdoor play prompts from Barnardo's. We'll also have some visiting organisations offering different workshops every month. The garden is a beautiful safe space to enjoy with plenty of room to run about, but it's easy to find quiet areas for those who need a calmer spot. There will be support if you want someone to talk to. We will provide snacks and drinks. We would like to make the day as comfortable for you as we can. If you have any particular needs that you would like to discuss with us prior, please do get in touch with Playful Gardens Co-ordinator Lauren at [email protected]
