Community development officer Wendy Voo said: “These are three major events for Fylde families and we believe they provide something for everyone.
“All parents are familiar with having bored children hanging around the house. Finding something for them to do can be expensive, but these fun days are free. There is one for each of the main population centres in Fylde – but there’s nothing to stop families attending them all!”
A wealth of other summer activities are planned for Fylde at venues including Elswick sports field; park View, Lytham; Ashton gardens, St Annes; Bridges playing fields, Warton; Wesham sports field.
The YMCA holds a regular play scheme and sports academy and, starting on27 July, will hold a performing arts workshop at the YMCA on St Albans Road, St Annes,
