Fun summer activities despite COVID-19
This school year finished with a bit of a whimper, after so many pupils were required to spend term-time at home... Restrictions to keep us safe mean the school holidays are looking different this year, but there are still a range of fun activities on offer. Here are some ideas. Please note that a fee is payable for some of these activities: check with the provider for details.
