Active play: Summer of Play at Souter

Experience a Summer of Play at Souter Lighthouse.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Get active and challenge your family with outdoor games and activities this summer. Each session will bring something different - expect everything from classic sports like badminton and tennis to playground games like parachute and dodgeball.

Spend quality time together and make the most of being outside during the school holidays.

If you need a break after all that fun, enjoy an ice cream in the café, have a picnic in the foghorn field or even head down to the beach.

Active play activities will take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between Tuesday 22 July and Friday 29 August, 11.30am-12.30pm and 2pm-3pm. Free, no need to book, just turn up and have a go.

Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
