Summer in the City is back to bring hundreds of FREE activities and FREE food for children and young people during the summer holiday.
The busy line-up of events is open to anyone aged four to 16 (and up to 25 for those with additional needs). All events are free – including food on the day.
We have 30 providers offering everything from sports, music and drama to arts & crafts and dance. There's also a wide range of family-friendly events hosted across the borough.
The programme runs until Friday 29 August. Browse the full programme of activities and book your place now.
Cllr Alex Sanderson, Deputy Leader of Hammersmith & Fulham, said:
Summer in the City is our way of making sure every child in H&F has a safe, joyful place to be over the holidays – with free activities, hot meals and a chance to have fun with friends. We're proud to fund this programme and work alongside our brilliant partners as part of our work to build a stronger, safer and kinder borough here in H&F."

Every year we work with Brook Green charity LMP Action to help coordinate our Summer in the City events. And you can volunteer to help with the summer fun – it's a fantastic way to build valuable life skills.
Lots of our Summer in the City providers have opportunities for young people aged 16 to 19 to volunteer.
Local student Sophie Allwright has been volunteering with our local charity partner LMP Action for the past year. She's been studying for her A-levels at Latymer Upper School and hopes to become a doctor one day.
Explaining why she loves volunteering, Sophie said: "It's a really rewarding experience because you can directly see how your involvement has an impact."
"I've built strong bonds with the kids and the other staff members and volunteers. I love seeing the kids grow as they come back each year. And I've learnt valuable skills like building my confidence with how to engage children.
"The great thing about volunteering is it's completely flexible. You can do as little or as much that suits your schedule."
Whether you're interested in a career in education, youth work, charity, sports, public services, the arts or creative industries, there's plenty of volunteering opportunities to explore.
