Sometimes it can be a real challenge keeping children entertained during the long summer holidays, so we’re delighted to be able to offer our free fun days during August.Cllr Helen Howell, Deputy Leader of the Council and Executive Member for Sport, Leisure, Culture and Tourism
There’s no need to book in advance, just come along, and families can even bring along a picnic to eat in the park too.
The fun days are part of a variety of summer activities that we have on offer in North Northamptonshire, such as our swimming sessions which are free for under 18s.
Keeping activities free or low cost is a great way of making them accessible to as many people as possible.
Not only do these fun days provide entertainment to keep children happy and healthy, but they are also great ways of bringing communities together too. I’m delighted that we’re able to offer these across the North Northamptonshire area.Cllr Jason Smithers, Leader of the Council
