It’s exciting to see these free events organised throughout August for children and young people across North Northamptonshire.

These events are designed to encourage positive emotional connection and wellbeing for children and teens and complement the Active Families Fun days running throughout the summer.

I very much hope that children, young people and teens across the local authority area enjoy these free events and have a wonderful holiday period. Cllr Brian Benneyworth, North Northamptonshire Council’s Executive Member for Health and Leisure
