Nestled in the heart of Northampton, Delapré Abbey offers more than just historical charm. Every Saturday at 10am, the Abbey transforms into a playground of laughter and camaraderie with ParkPlay. This free weekly event is a delightful invitation for families and individuals of all ages to come together, play, and create cherished memories.

ParkPlay is not just about play; it’s about building a happier, healthier community. Louise, a dedicated PlayLeader, first discovered ParkPlay three years ago. What began as a simple outing with her young son quickly became a cherished family tradition. “We are like one huge family at ParkPlay,” Louise shares. “The friendships and confidence I’ve gained have been life-changing.”

This initiative, supported by the Delapré Abbey Preservation Trust and the Northamptonshire Serious Violence Prevention Partnership, is a testament to the power of community spirit. Richard Clinton, chief executive at the Trust, highlights the importance of outdoor activities, especially post-pandemic. “ParkPlay is a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors while making friends,” he notes.

The success of ParkPlay lies in its dedicated volunteers. PlayLeaders like Pete ensure every session is inclusive and enjoyable. “Creating these moments gives me a real sense of achievement,” Pete says. “It’s about making a positive impact in our community.”
