Stay & Play at Old Trafford Library


Play, explore and learn together at Stay and Play!

Join this fun and friendly Stay and Play session for babies, toddlers and preschool children. Packed with toys, activities and opportunities for exploration, it's the perfect place for little ones to learn through play while making new friends.

From building and role play to puzzles, sensory activities and creative play, children can develop important early skills in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Stay and Play supports communication and language development, encourages creativity and imagination, and helps children build confidence as they learn to share, take turns and interact with others.

For parents and carers, it's a great opportunity to spend quality time with your child, support their learning and development, and connect with other families. Watch your child discover new interests, develop new skills and grow in confidence through play.

Whether your little one loves exploring, creating, building or making new friends, there's something for everyone at Stay and Play!

It's completely free and there is no need to sign up or book a place - places are allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

Just come along and join in!
