Summer fun in Tamworth |

Tamworth Castle
Over the summer holidays Tamworth Castle ran 4 different workshops over 4 weeks. These workshops included Frog Surprise, Zoetrope, Personalised Family Crest and Green Man Mask.
Belgrave Sports Centre
During the summer of 2009 Belgrave Sports Centre was closed for renovation, so the staff created an outreach programme and delivered a wide variety of courses at different venues across the town. These courses were swimming lessons, sea-doo’s and snorkelling and get safe for summer.
The activities took place from 27th July until 14th August at QEMS, Woodhouse and Wilnecote High School.
Sports Development work for C&LP
The Sports Development Team ran a wide variety of activities for the Staffordshire Community & Learning Partnership. This included dance workshops, drama, music sessions and multi sports activities.
Dance (StreetDance) This session ran every Friday at TORC from 31st July until 4th September (6 sessions) and was from 10am until 12 noon, these were aimed at 5 – 14 year olds and cost £1 per session. Each session was a complete sell-out!
Day Dance Course This was an all day activity for children based at Tamworth Assembly Rooms and ran for 3 days a week for 4 weeks starting from 27th July until 27th August.
These were aimed at ages 8 – 14 year olds and cost £3 per session. Again, each session was a sell-out!

Mobile Leisure takes place at various areas in Tamworth within the outside play areas. These include Stonedelph, Kettlebrook, Belgrave, The Kerria, The Activity Centre and the Castle Grounds.
In the summer of 2009 the Sports Development Team revamped the annual Playspace/sport activities to a more sports based programme.

The full Playspace/sport was split up into a Junior Venue aimed at 5 – 9 year olds and the intermediate Venues aimed at 8 – 12 year olds. The junior venue was Woodlands and ran for 4 weeks from 10.00am – 4.00pm. The intermediate venues were Woodhouse and Two Gates and ran for 4 weeks from 9.00am – 3.00pm.
