Schools across the borough shut for the summer earlier this month with the first sessions taking place from Tuesday, August 4.

Named Kids Fest, the free events will run between 2pm and 4pm every Tuesday and Thursday across three weeks, with the final session taking place on Thursday, August 20.

The full lineup of entertainers has not been announced.

The Amphitheatre on the coastline has already been the venue of a busy spring and summer for events. Throughout June local artists performed each weekend as part of a live music series.

Brass bands are also performing at the site each Sunday until the end of August.
