Find out what’s going on during the summer holidays!

For some, the summer holidays are a time of excitement, joy and non-stop playing with friends. Ordinarily, that "some" are generally aged from 5-15. And for everyone else, even the words summer holidays might fill you with dread. Pound signs flare up at the thought of keeping the little ones entertained.

But worry not, because there is so much to do in Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland that you won't even notice they're not at school all day. Our localities all put on special summer programmes to keep youngsters physically active, ensuring their summers are not just video games and television.
