Crewe Town Council is "excited" for the upcoming summer holiday filled with "free family-friendly activities" in the town - on offer for all residents and visitors.

This summer, visitors can also come and see the heritage celebration "Forging History: 180 years of the Crewe Works" exhibition at the Crewe Heritage Centre.

Crewe Town Council has worked with Crewe Heritage Centre to create an "interactive and engaging" experience, open each weekend and bank holiday between 1 July and 10 September - and every Wednesday in August.

The seasonal summer programme is brought to an end with a free Heritage Open Days event.

After the success of the 2022 event, the Crewe Heritage Fair will return to Crewe Heritage Centre on Saturday 9 September - showcasing groups and organisations interested in Crewe's past together under one roof.

Crewe Town Council is hopeful the upcoming events will help to keep children and families "entertained and engaged in Crewe" over the summer.

A spokesperson told Nub News: "It's so exciting to see the return of Operation Summer again this year, building on last year's success and range of activities.

"We've tried to provide free family-friendly activities for most days through the summer holidays, hoping that this will help to keep children and families entertained and engaged in Crewe without costing the earth.

"We've got rocket-making to story-telling sessions, craft workshops to outdoor theatre and more, there is hopefully something for everyone.

"A huge thank you to all of our partners for working with us and helping to co-ordinate the delivery of events and activities for local families around the town."

The full schedule programme can be accessed via the Crewe Town Council Operation Summer webpage. Leaflets will be distributed to Crewe Library, Crewe Heritage Centre and a range of other community locations.

All of the activities are free-to-access family sessions.
