There’s plenty to do over summer

A summer of fun is being set up by South Holland District Council’s communities team.

The ever-popular ‘Activate!’ will be held on Wednesday, August 3, in Carters Park in Holbeach. Running from 11am till 3pm.

It is designed to give children, young people and their families a free opportunity to try new sports and arts activities within the local community.

The climbing wall will be returning for the day this year, along with a 9-hole crazy golf course, arts and craft activities, as well as basketball and football shoot-outs, tennis, football, cricket and obstacle races.

Next up is ‘Give It a Go’ which will return on Sunday, August 21, at the Sir Halley Stewart playing field in Spalding. Running from 11am till 4pm.

It will be a packed day of free activities from local sport clubs and community groups, who will be doing workshops, demonstrations and giving local residents the chance to try something new.

With the help of skateboarding experts Team Rubicon, a Skate Jam will be held on Monday, August 22, at the skate park in Donington from 10am till 3pm.

All ages and abilities are welcome whether showing off their skills or learning to skate for the first time.

All the necessary equipment will be provided including the skateboards, scooters, helmets and pads.
