The school holidays are here - and so is Summer in the City, a guide to a massive 1,400 events for young people in the borough.

Now in its sixth year, the 80 days of summer fun is organised by Hammersmith & Fulham Council and has something for everyone.

This year, Summer in the City has an all new website with an interactive diary, photo gallery, featured events and a look at the many activities at local libraries.

The summertime fun is either free or at a low cost and events are now underway.

There is a massive range of 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 0 to 25-years-old.

Venues include schools, community centres and halls, parks and the Lyric and Bush Theatres.

 The events include: 

• Creating your own drama with the White City Youth Theatre
• An adventure playground, board games, dance, table tennis and more at Little Wormwood Scrubs
• A basketball camp at the Hurlingham Academy in Fulham
• Hair and beauty classes at Phoenix Academy in Shepherds Bush
• Graffiti art classes at Edward Woods Community Centre in Shepherds Bush
• H&F Mencap play scheme for disabled children

You can find out more at the Summer in The City website or pick up a guide at Hammersmith Town Hall, your school, libraries, children’s centres and youth clubs.

"Summer in the City just gets better every year," says Cllr Sue Macmillan, H&F Cabinet Member for Children and Education.

"It’s the perfect opportunity to experience something new or enjoy one of your favourite activities.

"Why not book now and see for yourself?"
