Unboxed: Choose Play (East Lothian Play Association)

Thu 15 - Sun 18 Jan at Various Times Corn Exchange, Haddington A free, play event in Haddington

Free, fun and friendly!
Following the huge success of Unboxed 2025, Choose Play is delighted to bring this play event back to Haddington.  

Event Description

Unboxed is a simple idea inspired by the unlimited possibilities of cardboard boxes!

The Corn Exchange will be transformed into a hive of activity as children's imagination, creativity and construction skills are put to use with an abundance of cardboard and simple making tools.

A quieter, low-sensory space away from the hustle and bustle will be available to anyone who needs it. Look out for visual stories about the event on Choose Play's social media to share with children so they know what to expect.  

You are welcome to get in touch with Choose Play at info@elpa.org.uk if they can help to make joining in easier for you. 

Both children and adults must have a ticket - advance booking is recommended. There may be availability on the day, at the organisers' discretion
