The Spark Children's Arts Festival has been developing several natural play spaces in Leicester. The idea of these is to encourage young people to use the spaces which have been designed to offer opportunities for outdoor, imaginative play.

They asked us to help launch one of these spaces which is at Aylestone Meadows, off Aylestone Road in the city.
