Myddelton College in Denbigh, North Wales, is holding two Stay & Play sessions for children aged 2 to 4 and their parents or carers this term: an outdoor learning session on Monday 9 November 2026 and a Christmas-themed classroom session on Wednesday 9 December 2026. Sessions are free and places are limited, so booking is essential.
Stay & Play is a relaxed way for young children to explore, play and make friends, while parents get to see our Early Years teaching in action and meet the staff who would be looking after their child. There’s no pressure and no formal tour, just an hour or so of fun together.
Stay & Play session dates
Learning Through the Outdoors Stay & Play
- Date: Monday 9 November 2026
- Time: 1:30pm – 3:00pm
- Ages: 2–4 years, with a parent or carer
- Where: Our outdoor classroom, Myddelton College, Peakes Lane, Denbigh, LL16 3EN
- What to bring: Wellies, waterproofs and warm layers
Our 37-acre campus sits beneath Denbigh Castle with views across the Clwydian Range, and we make the most of it. In this session, children will explore nature, get muddy, build, discover and play in our outdoor classroom, with activities led by our Early Years team. Learning outdoors helps young children build confidence, curiosity, language and physical skills, and it’s a big part of how our youngest pupils learn every week.
Christmas Stay & Play
- Date: Wednesday 9 December 2026
- Time: 9:00am – 10:00am
- Ages: 2–4 years, with a parent or carer
- Where: Our Early Years classroom, Myddelton College, Peakes Lane, Denbigh, LL16 3EN
Get into the festive spirit with a morning of Christmas fun indoors. Children can enjoy Christmas crafts, songs, stories and sensory play in our warm, welcoming classroom, a lovely chance for little ones to experience a real school setting before they start.

Why come to a Stay & Play?
Choosing where your child starts school is a big decision, and it’s much easier when you’ve seen a place for yourself. A Stay & Play session lets you:
- See how your child responds to the classroom, the outdoor space and the teachers
- Meet our Early Years staff and ask questions in an informal setting
- Connect with other local families with children of a similar age
- Get a feel for school life before Reception, so the first day feels familiar
Many families find that their child talks about it for days afterwards, and that’s usually the best sign of all.
