About Tinkertown
The City of Play is a not-for-profit organisation, based in Central Scotland with a network of creative practitioners across the UK. Tinkertown is a large-scale, hands-on den-building event created by Bobby Lee, where children and their grown-ups come together to design, build, and play using real tools and materials.
Believing that play is vital to healthy childhoods and thriving communities, Tinkertown champions the right of every child to play freely while also bringing families together through shared creativity and making. The event transforms open spaces into vibrant, temporary towns built by children and adults, where imagination, teamwork, and fun lead the way.
