Summer In the City is back in 2018, with over 1,000 events and activities offering local children and young people a fantastic opportunity to try something new.

All the events - mostly run by well-known youth activity provider Let Me Play, who are based off Blythe Road in West Kensington - are either free or low cost.

Summer in the City, which begins on 23 July and continues throughout the holidays, includes a massive range of events and activities including sport, music lessons, arts and crafts, drama, family fun, and exhibitions for 11 to 19-year-olds.

There are also activities for Disabled people aged 25 and under.

You can find all the events and details at the  Summer in the City website or pick up a highlight guide at Hammersmith Town Hall as well as schools, libraries, children’s centres and youth clubs.
