• sports and games with the council’s Active for Life team
• ‘Audio-Active’ music workshops (26 and 29 July plus 11, 18 and 25 August)
• the children’s library service and toy library.

On other weekdays the play bus will offer free play, music, sport, art, drama and games both in and around the bus. On some days the children’s library service and Baby Boogie will also be on offer.
