About us

Before we learned to sit still and get it right, we drew, built, and made a mess of things just to see what happened. Kids get to their best ideas through curiosity and play.
At Creative Playground Lisbon, we’re bringing that mindset back!
We gather curious minds to experience creativity through play (something all of us adults need more of).

WHAT HAPPENS HERE
At our Creative Playground Nights, we spend 3 hours breaking out of the routine. We start with a theme that guides the night, then play together with different forms of creative expression that keep evolving along the way.

You leave with fresh ideas for work and life, a better sense of how your own creativity works, a lighter head and heart, and a few new faces you’ll want to see again.

WHO COMES
• Newcomers and long-time Lisboetas who want to meet people over more than small talk, drinks and dinner.
• Founders, designers, engineers, marketers, teachers, and everyone who says, “I’m not the creative type”. Creativity belongs to everyone, whether you draw, code, cook or run a company.
Coming alone is perfectly fine, nobody stays a stranger for long.

YOUR HOST
I’m Alessandro, founder of Creative Playground. I host our events myself, together with a wonderful team of different co-hosts, our Creative Igniters.

I believe creativity is an essential life skill. It helps us navigate uncertainty, connect unrelated ideas and solve complex problems. My mission is to help everyone access and develop their own creative confidence.

GOOD TO KNOW
Creative Playground is my business, so Playground Nights are ticketed (details on each event page). Events run in English and Portuguese.

RSVP to the next Playground Night and come play with us.

YOUR IMAGINATION WANTS TO PLAY!
3 HOURS TO BREAK OUT OF YOUR ROUTINE. JOIN OTHER CURIOUS MINDS FOR AN INSPIRING NIGHT OF CREATIVITY AND PLAY.

Before we learned to sit still and get it right, we drew, built, and made a mess of things just to see what happened. Kids get to their best ideas through curiosity and play.
For this evening, we’re bringing that mindset back.
Grab a drink, pick your toys (drawing, painting, building, improv, and more), find new playmates and rediscover what it feels like to create with or without a goal in mind. No talent required, no final outcome expected.
