Welwyn Hatfield's BIG Summer is back and better than ever, with more than 300 events for families to enjoy over the coming weeks.

Taking place from July 29 to August 18, there will be plenty of sports, dance, arts and crafts sessions to enjoy, including skateboarding, American flag football, and African dance classes.

The free-to-attend Hatfield Community Fair will also be returning during BIG Summer on the Tuesday, August 13, with face painting, a BMX track and a climbing wall just a few of the many activities to enjoy.

Councillor Jane Quinton, deputy leader of the council and executive member for leisure and community, said: "I am thrilled that we are running so many activities this summer for young people and families across the borough, with many of the events being free.

"It has been great to see BIG Summer grow over the last eight years with more events than ever before for older children and teens.

"I would encourage everyone to check the Big Summer calendar and book your place for your favourite event or activity before it is booked out."
