Don't be a couch potato this summer...

School's Out! And it's time to GET INVOLVED... GET CREATIVE... and GET HEALTHY!

So put Mesnes Park in Wigan in your sights and try your hand at archery. Or if you're into traditional games, pop to the Turnpike Gallery for lessons in circus skills. Or if you're brave enough, learn to canoe as as part of a programme of canalside activities in locations right across the borough.

No matter how you want to spend your summer... whatever you want to do.... there's plenty going on and there's something for everyone. So make this summer memorable for the right reasons - Have some fun. Keep out of trouble. And stay Safe4Summer!
