There is a huge variety of activities organised for children and young people across South Derbyshire run by both South Derbyshire District Council and partner organisations.
We provide sports, playschemes and environmental education opportunities aimed at children & young people aged 5 – 19.
Opportunities are provided through central venues and outreach projects. Art & cultural opportunites are provided in partnership with People Express (local arts company) and the Youth Service.
So whether you're interested in tennis, netball or basketball, or even minibeasts, reptiles or pond dipping - there's something for everyone!
