Summer of Play
Dunstable Downs
Mon 20th July 2026 - Mon 31st August 2026
10.30am - 5pm
Join us for a summer packed with adventure, creativity and family fun all through the holidays. We'll have football, hockey, tennis, coach-led sessions and much more, as Summer of Play returns on Monday 20 July-31 August.
Once again, we'll be transforming the fields around Dunstable Downs into a natural, green Sports Village. We'll have lots of outdoor activities to try including football, cricket, hockey, tennis and table tennis, athletics, soft archery, and frisbee golf. All equipment is available to borrow from our team at the Sports Village Welcome Area - no need to book.
Alternatively, join a coaching session delivered by one of our local partners below. (Please note, on busy days you may need to wait, as these are drop-in sessions.)
