March 2026 Update / Newsletter

Logo for Playful Learning conference 2026. Into the woods

Hi all, and welcome to the March Update!

Big news for this one is that bookings for our conference have just opened! Come “Into the Woods” with us in Brighton, 1st-3rd July at the University of Sussex. Places are limited, so book soon if you fancy coming along, lots more information on our conference pages.

It’s not just Playful Learning in Brighton going on this summer, other play conferences & festivals are coming up too – check out the Playposium in Exeter this June and the much missed Counterplay festival (bookings just opened) returning in May. If you’re attending one of these other play events, why not use our Discord to see who else from the PLA community is going along?

Last little bit of news is that we’ve loads of articles in progress for the Journal of Play in Adulthood, a couple already published this year, should be 2 more before the end of March and lots more lined up – definitely worth keeping an eye out for interesting articles there. We’re always open for submissions too 🙂
