FAMILIES across Tameside are being encouraged to make the most of the school holidays with the launch of the council’s official summer events guide.
Packed with free and low-cost activities taking place across the borough, the guide brings together a wide range of family-friendly events, performances and attractions to help keep children entertained throughout the summer.
Among the highlights are the return of the popular Pop-up Beach, Theatre in the Park, Outdoor Arts events and family fun days, alongside a host of activities taking place in communities across Tameside.
Residents can also enjoy regular events throughout the holidays, including Super Saturdays, Stalybridge Street Fest, Artisan Markets and the Mossley Farmers Market.
Last year, Tameside Council’s events programme attracted more than one million residents and visitors, and organisers are hoping for another successful summer with a packed programme of entertainment.
Printed copies of the summer guide are available to pick up from libraries, family hubs and Portland Basin Museum, making it easy for families to see what’s happening in their local area.
Councillor Leanne Feeley, Tameside Council’s executive member for lifelong learning and culture, said: “We are excited to bring such a fantastic programme to our residents this summer.
“We know it can be a challenge for families to keep children entertained throughout the holidays, so this guide makes it easy to discover everything happening across the borough in one place.
“There really is something for everyone, and we encourage as many residents as possible to get involved and make the most of what’s on offer.”
The guide features activities suitable for all ages, with many events free to attend, giving families plenty of opportunities to enjoy the summer without breaking the bank.
