We were thrilled to announce the launch of the Pop-Up Adventure Play blog back in March 2012. It was the beginning of an exciting journey to share news, updates and stories from our adventures – both ours and yours. Over the years, this blog has become a cornerstone of our mission to champion child-led play and provide resources for play advocates worldwide.

A growing hub for playwork

Since that first post, the Pop-Up Adventure Play blog has evolved into a dynamic space where we explore the latest in playwork, share insights from our global projects, and highlight the incredible impact of unstructured play. From in-depth articles on play theory to behind-the-scenes stories from our pop-up adventure playgrounds, we’ve covered it all.

Milestones & collaborations

We’ve celebrated countless milestones – hosting workshops, partnering with like-minded organisations and amplifying the voices of playworkers everywhere. Each post reflects our commitment to pushing boundaries, challenging norms and ensuring every child has access to joyful, self-directed play.

Join the conversation

More than just a blog, this is a community. We love hearing from readers, whether you’re a parent, educator or play enthusiast. Your stories and feedback fuel our work and remind us why play matters.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue growing the Pop-Up Adventure Play blog, sharing even more resources and connecting with advocates like you. Here’s to many more years of adventure, learning and play!
