Building on the success of the inaugural 2024 event, which welcomed over 3,500 people, PlayDays 2025 promises an even bigger and better experience, with a wide array of over 20 sporting activities designed to engage participants of all ages and fitness levels.

“My family had a fabulous time at PlayDays. This is a fun event for all ages and very well organized. My kids (7 and 2) were entertained for hours. There was a huge variety of indoor and outdoor activities. I also appreciated that local businesses helped run stations like crafts, table tennis, and sword fighting. I didn’t know these activities existed, so it was helpful to find out more about local opportunities. Well done Decathlon!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Debbie

This year’s focus is on making sport more accessible than ever, showcasing the incredible sports facilities and opportunities available within the Southwark community.
