Waterloo Park Summer Activities

There is a fantastic choice of FREE activities taking place in Waterloo Park during the school summer holidays. We have teamed up with other local organisations to provide lots of free, fun events.

  • All sessions are free

  • No booking is necessary

  • Activities are for children all ages.

If it's raining, there will be activities indoors for the sports activity days.

As usual our café will be open for 7 days a week serving our wide choice of delicious food. We hope for a sunny summer so you can enjoy our ice creams, cold drinks, iced coffees and even ice creams for your dogs!

Big thanks go to Catton Grove Big Local, Friends of Waterloo Park, Epic and many bands and musicians for helping us provide these events.

Our Waterloo Park café social media accounts will publish more details of each event nearer the time.
