Don’t let the summer holidays pass by without making some memories. With another week of activities taking place across North East Lincolnshire, families can enjoy everything from arts and crafts and sporting activities to character meet-and-greets, community events and outdoor entertainment.
To help families discover what’s happening on their doorstep, North East Lincolnshire Council will continue sharing daily ideas and events across its social media channels throughout the school holidays.
If you’re an organisation or community group with an event coming up, email communications@nelincs.gov.uk and we’ll help spread the word. Please mark your email ‘Play Together’.
By showcasing the wide range of activities available locally, we hope to encourage more families to get out, get active, try something new and have fun together. It’s also a great opportunity to meet new people, discover new hobbies and make lasting summer memories.
