Loads to Do

☀️ There's Loads to Do this summer ☀️

The school holidays have officially begun, and there’s Loads To Do! 

We've teamed up with communities and activity leaders across the area to bring all school holiday activities and events on one website. 

Our partners in Youth & Play, Parks, MCRactive, Culture, Libraries and more have created ready-to-go guides to show you amazing stuff to do. If you’d rather find your own activities, you can explore by category or local area.    

Whether you’re looking for activities for younger children or older young people there’s something for everyone on Loads to Do.

Let’s have a great summer this year, making new friends, learning new skills and most importantly having fun!   


Our top picks:
