Young people's designs on summer fun

Look out for a new fun brochure highlighting six weeks of summer fun for all launched to coincide with the impending school holidays.

The bright new booklet is the annual St.Helens Council guide to a wide range of activities throughout summer and lists events and activities taking place across the borough.

The bright new design has been developed in consultation with young people who wanted to ensure that the guide was bright, colourful and appealing to the younger audience.

Summer Fun in St.Helens 2012 has it all. Whether you are looking for skatepark locations, the exciting range of events at Darkstar Laser, outdoor and indoor activities, sporting event the guide will point you in the right direction. It contains calendar style listings and a youth friendly map to help pinpoint locations and details of everything from free swimming lessons and sports sessions to arts activities, beach trips and free football.

Council Leader, Marie Rimmer CBE said: "The brochure is the perfect family companion for the summer and we want the residents of St.Helens to be aware of the fantastic arts, sports, culture and youth provision available. We hope they will get involved with the events and activities on offer."

The brochures will be distributed to every household via the St.Helens Star. However, a limited number of copies will also be available from St.Helens Libraries, leisure centres, children's centres and youth clubs.
