We run and support a variety of events and activities for local communities every summer.
All events are open to all ages and abilities and free to attend, unless otherwise stated. Children must always be supervised by an adult.
Some events will have limited spaces and must be reserved in advance. You can book your place at these events from Monday 6 July. If booking is not mentioned for an event, it’s open to everybody and you can just turn up on the day.
To help as many families as possible benefit, we ask you to book places on no more than three different activities.
If you cannot attend a session you have booked onto, please let the activity provider know as soon as possible so they can offer your place to another family.
