MVUF 2025 Summer Playscheme

This year's playscheme at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm is now LIVE! It will run from 9.30am until 2.30pm Monday to Friday. We do not accept responsibility for children outside of these times. Places are limited and you should complete your booking ASAP to avoid disappointment! As in previous years the helpers have already been selected so we will only be taking children aged 8 to 11 years old and we may ask for evidence of your child's age.

Build a Bear, The Deep and Leeds Rhinos have all donated prizes this year which will be given out on the final day to the children with the most GREEN CARDS. These are given to children throughout the week to reward helpful and compassionate behaviour as well as any achivements.

Monday morning starts with a guided tour of the farm and it's animals. It also brings back the boat race that children ask to have every year along with water day (please bring a change of clothes).

Tuesday is Sugar Well Hill Race day. Trophies for the boy's and girl's winners with special medals for the winners of each age group. Everyone who participates in the race will also recieve a medal. In the afternoon is our annual Zombie invasion. This year we have recieved a kind donation of goodies from Smiffys to help make it even more special!

Wednesday test out your bush craft skills with firelighting and den building then toast some marshmallows before learning how to survive the black death! This year we are finally teaming up with Meanwood Olympics. We'll be taking the children across the road for fun, games and some sports.

Thursday we are very excited to welcome back Creature Ark to run sessions with creepy crawlies, snakes and more. Then we will put the children to work for an afternoon of experiencing how our Farmer Amy looks after our animals!

Friday we are running the talent show again but coupling it with show and tell for all the kids who don't want to be dancers or stand up comedians! In the morning there will be witches and wizards. Lush White Rose have kindly donated lots of smelly things to create potions with this year.
