Summer is a time for connection, creativity and getting outside - and we’ve got plenty of inspiration to help you make the most of it.

From free family activities and budget-friendly eats to wellbeing workshops and a wildflower photography competition, take a look and see what fits with your plans.

Wishing you a wonderful summer, from us all in the communities team!

Bring people together through music
Much like food, music has a special way of connecting us - be that through singing, playing or simply listening together.
