Exploring the Power of Play, The Festival in the Field Returns for 2026!

Saturday 5th September 2026!

This is not just any festival, this is a celebration of creativity, connection, and the boundless energy that play brings to Early Years education. This festival is the perfect place to step away from the everyday pressures of practice and immerse yourself in a day designed to inspire, recharge, and empower.

Across the day, you’ll discover hands-on workshops, thought-provoking talks, and playful demonstrations that showcase the very best in Early Years practice. Whether you’re looking to deepen your knowledge, pick up fresh ideas to take back to your setting, or simply reconnect with the joy of play, there’s something here for everyone.

This is more than CPD, it’s a movement. A chance to share best practices, connect with like-minded professionals, and reignite the passion that drives you to make a difference in children’s lives.

✨ Why not bring your whole team?

Treat them to a full day of professional development that’s packed with excitement, innovation, and opportunities to help reignite that all-important ‘Fire in Your Belly.’
