Free Summer activity brochure for children, young people and families
An electronic brochure packed full of summer activities and events for young people and families in Hinckley and Bosworth can now be downloaded from the Borough Council’s website.
The in-depth guide to ‘What’s on this summer’ is a free electronic booklet aimed at 0–19-year-olds and is packed full of information that is sure to keep them busy during the school holidays.
‘What’s on this summer’ can be viewed or downloaded for free.
There is information on sports activities, a reading challenge at the libraries, and a whole variety of different events at locations throughout the borough. One of the highlights of the summer is the council’s children’s Snapdragon Festival taking place in Argents Mead, Hinckley (Monday 3 – Wednesday 5 August 11am- 3pm). Most activities are free with the others costing no more than £1.
It is also worthwhile checking with the individual venues included within the brochure to see if there are any other activities happening; keep up to date with changes and if advance booking is required.
Included is also lots of advice for families, accessing support and lots more.
Councillor Robin Webber-Jones, Children and Young People’s Champion at the Borough Council said: "As in previous years, many families will be choosing to enjoy a ‘staycation’ closer to home this summer. With the cost of living continuing to affect household budgets, we appreciate that keeping children entertained throughout the school holidays can be expensive. That's why I am delighted to announce that we have once again compiled this essential summer activity and event guide.
"This resource is packed with details of a wide range of activities and events for babies, children, young people and their families across Hinckley and Bosworth, along with helpful information and advice. We encourage residents to look through the guide and book activities early where possible, as some events and sessions have limited spaces and are likely to fill up quickly. We hope this guide helps families make the most of the summer holidays, whatever their budget."
