Playbox on Briggate: 15 fun photos as children enjoy pop-up play area on Leeds's busiest street

The busiest street in Leeds has been turned into a play area for children and people of all ages to enjoy.

Playbox has been set up along Briggate from today (Saturday) until Wednesday, April 15, and offers games and activities of all varieties to enjoy.

Presented by Playful Anywhere, shoppers and their children can enjoy chalks, Lego, heaps of games, giant marble runs, capers, and escapers from 10am until 3pm over the next few days.

There’s also a sensory space to relax and chill for those who feel that Briggate can be a bit much.

Our photographer Steve Riding was there this afternoon to capture pictures of the fun.
