Laxey Pavillion will be alive with play today and tomorrow (4, 5 October).
The Children's Centre is hosting a Play Conference to explore the importance of play in a youngster's physical and social development.
The event will feature a range of workshops and speakers include Tim Gill - one of the leading thinkers on childhood in the UK.
Today's events will be repeated in full tomorrow (Saturday) and children are welcome to join for some hands-on playtime.
For information about how to register for the conference, contact the Children's Centre on 676076.
Play-Development Officer Chris Gregory says children deserve the opportunity to make memories:
