Free and low-cost activities taking place across the district thanks to Active Fenland
New free and low-cost events have been added to a packed programme for residents to enjoy.
Active Fenland, an organisation run by the district council, has revealed dozens of activities for people to get stuck into in the coming weeks.
From family fun days to exercise classes, Cllr Susuan Wallwork says “there’s sure to be something perfect for you”.
“There’s always so much on offer for all ages thanks to Active Fenland’s free and low-cost programme of social and fitness activities,” she added.
“We urge everyone to take a look at the Fenland District Council website to get all the details.”
Added to the list is a free family fun day taking place at Peckover House, in Wisbech, next Thursday.
Aimed at primary-aged children, visitors can grab an activity card from the Active Fenland team on the day and collect stamps by completing Maths and Literacy tasks to win a certificate.
