Summer of Play returns to Milton Keynes with thousands of free activities for children and young people

    Children, young people and families can enjoy free activity sessions this summer as the city council's 'Summer of Play' returns.

    More than 23,000 free activity sessions are on offer for families with children in receipt of benefit related Free School Meals (FSM) this summer.

    This year's scheme includes a range of activities from basketball and netball to trampolining and cookery.

    The activities will be taking place between 31st July and 24th August and each session includes food and at least four hours of activities.

    Events will run across 55 locations in Milton Keynes, with a wide range of sports, crafts, cookery, music and other activities for children of all ages.

    Eligible families can book spaces via the online booking system here, which also has links to clubs and other events open to all families in Milton Keynes.

    This includes the IF: Milton Keynes International Festival (21-30 July), which is co-funded by the city council and which brings together art, live performances, and interactive family activities.

    Councillor Zoe Nolan, Cabinet Member for Children and Families said: “There’s so much for local families, teenagers, and young people to enjoy locally this summer. Alongside activities specifically for eligible families, everyone can take part in events and clubs – many of which are free - at our children’s centres, libraries and SEND (special educational needs) service. Please check out our website where we have lots of information and useful links to learn more.

    "Our providers are able to cater their events for people with special educational needs and disabilities. We’re pleased to be building on the success of last year and hope to meet many of you over the summer.”
