PLA May 2026 Meet-up

This is the Playful Learning Association's first in-person event of the year! Join us in Newcastle at Northumbria University from Thursday lunchtime to Friday lunchtime for lots of lovely stuff around Playful Learning in adults.

The theme will be Playful Learning Design, whether that's designing great, accessible playful learning experiences, taking a playful approach to design, or something you can surprise us with :) The programme is made up of contributions by attendees, so if you fancy sharing your work, getting feedback on work in progress from a bunch of lovely people, or just floating playful ideas, let us know! Just give a sentence when you book, or get in touch afterwards (hint - I'm less likely to lose things on the booking form!)

We often sell out, so book early if you can, but please only book if you can definitely come - or numbers will be wrong and we'll let people down (and order too much food for lunch).

More information will follow later including room numbers, suggested hotels, activity for the Thursday night, etc.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
