Scunthorpe to welcome Wonderful Wednesdays

Summer activities for families will be taking place every Wednesday in Scunthorpe town centre throughout the holidays.

Outdoor performances will be taking place in the town centre from 1pm – 4pm, weather permitting.

Wilderness Week (24 July 2024), will see the Dancing Tiger Scrap Store building cardboard tents for youngsters to decorate and create their own dens and shelters.

Rhubarb Theatre will also be diving into a dustbin that refuses rubbish and discovering that one person’s rubbish is another person’s treasure.

The council’s youth engagement bus will be around the High Street, with casual drop in sessions of games and activities for children and teens.
