elcome to Summer in the City 2017, your guide to the hundreds of events and activities for children and young people taking place this summer.
We all enjoy the long summer break and thanks to Summer in the City there is no excuse to be bored as there are literally hundreds of activities on offer across Kensington and Chelsea and its neighbouring boroughs. Now in its seventh year, the jam-packed programme has something for everyone. You might be into outdoor activities such as kayaking and camping or you might be interested in taking part in an entrepreneur’s boot-camp with a chance to win a business start-up cash prize. You might just want to attend the fantastic Go Golborne Party in the Park 2017! Whatever excites you, you’ll find details of a range of activities in this leaflet and on our website. Everything is either free or low cost, and most of the activities are suitable for people with a disability. New activities are being planned all the time, so visit mysummerinthecity.org.uk for even more great ideas and the latest information. Most activities are open to residents of Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham and Westminster, unless otherwise stated.
