Summer Camp Guide to SW Wandsworth London

Dear NappyValleyNetter,

Welcome to your weekly What’s On activity guide from NappyValleyNet!

Whether you’re limping to the finish line or you’ve crossed it already, summer is really nearly here. Maybe you’re staying within these shores, maybe you’re heading to hotter climes, but wherever you are and whatever you’re doing there should be a change in pace at some point. Enjoy it, and our calendar is brimming with sunny ideas if ever you’re in need (read more).

Summer in the city

It’s here – the weekend has come! One of my most favourite days in the NappyValleyNet calendar is the Northcote Road Summer Festival and it’s on Sunday. Cue bunting, stalls, pop-up bars and street food, not to mention the live music stage and performances. And it just wouldn’t be the same without the live stream of the Men’s Final from SW19, so find your spot and enjoy! (read more)

It’s the Ascot Racecourse Summer Mile Family Day this weekend too. Children go free and you’ll all have fun watching the horses as well as joining in on all sorts of family-friendly fun (read more).
