Middlewich Summer Programme of Free Activities for children and young people is launched

Middlewich Town Council and Middlewich Vision are pleased to announce the launch of the Summer Programme for children and young people. Pop over to our Childrens and Teenagers section of our website to see the full details. https://middlewich.org.uk/children-and-teenagers/

Subject to funding and supplier availability, we will seek to add activities over the coming weeks.

Huge thanks must go to Middlewich & District Foodbank team for working with us on the programme. This Summer we have teamed up with Middlewich & District Foodbank to coordinate a new ‘Picnic Pack’ campaign in the Summer holidays. This campaign will be combined with most of our free activities in August. The main purpose of the Picnic Pack service is to allow those families who are struggling during the current circumstances to enjoy activities and refreshments without worry. Check each event for details. We would like to thank the team and volunteers at Middlewich & District Foodbank for their amazing help to get this up and running.

Coming Soon! Summer Activities
