Wilmslow Town Mayor, Councillor Sally Harrison, said, “We’re delighted to once again provide a programme of free summer activities for children and families across Wilmslow.
“The events were hugely popular last year and offer a great opportunity for children to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and spend time with friends during the school holidays. We know the summer break can be an expensive time for families, so we’re pleased to offer a range of activities that everyone can enjoy free of charge.
“We hope families will come along and make the most of everything on offer this summer.”
