About Gedling Play Forum

We are the Gedling Play Forum, a unique scrapstore and community creative play charity located in the heart of Gedling, Nottinghamshire. With our diverse range of recycled materials, we provide a haven for artists, educators, and crafters alike, igniting inspiration and nurturing sustainable creativity.

We believe that all children should have the right to play in their communities and that through play, we can enhance wellbeing and community cohesion.

From colourful fabrics to quirky buttons, paper tubes to vintage magazines, our ever-growing inventory is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Come join our community and unlock the unlimited potential of everyday objects. Whether you’re a teacher looking for materials for your classroom projects, a parent seeking a unique crafting experience with your child, or an artist searching for that perfect component to bring your vision to life, Gedling Play Forum is your one-stop destination.

In addition to our vibrant scrapstore, we offer a wide range of workshops, events, and community outreach programmes. Discover the joy of upcycling, learn new crafting techniques, or simply connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for sustainability and creativity.
