Summer of Play: Souter sports

Have a go at free outdoor games and mini-sports activities for all the family.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Activities are self-led, so you can join in whenever you fancy. Challenge a family member to a round of archery, a game of tennis, a kickabout or a race to get everyone involved!

If you would prefer organised sessions, check our events page for even more sports this summer, including sessions for families with SEND.

This event is free. Donations are very welcome and will go directly towards caring for Souter Lighthouse and The Leas, as well as helping us continue to offer family activities.

Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
