‘WE’RE BORED! What can we do?” That is a question that nearly every parent, grandparent, parental guardian, childminder or carer will be asked over the next few weeks.
Well, here’s a list that might just help. There is loads happening in and around Andover but here is a local guide. Not all are listed as we’re sure plenty more is going on but here is what we have picked up. If you have an event or summer activities that you wish to advertise on here please email hello@loveandover.com
Please bear in mind that lots of events need to be booked in advance due to a limited number of places.
