We run and support a variety of events and activities for local communities every summer.
All events are free to attend, although some have limited spaces and must be reserved in advance.
Events are open to all ages and abilities, unless otherwise stated. Children must always be supervised by an adult.
Some events are delivered by our partners, with funding support from our Summer Activity Grants scheme.
