Summer fun in Newham
Summer is one of the most exciting times of the year for children, young people and families across our borough. With longer days, brighter weather and the freedom that comes with the school holidays, there are endless opportunities to explore, learn, make new friends and create lasting memories.
Don’t miss out on a summer packed with fun, discovery and opportunity. Whether you’re trying something completely new or returning to a favourite activity, we look forward to seeing you across our Youth Zones, schools, libraries, leisure centres and community venues throughout the holidays.

New café and community space
New café and community space coming to Beckton Park
Exciting progress is being made at Will Thorne Pavilion, with the main refurbishment works inside the building now complete. The transformed space will provide a new café and community hub for residents to enjoy. Before the pavilion can open, contractors will carry out essential external works, including drainage improvements and new pathways around the building during June and July.
Visitors may notice temporary path diversions and some short-term disruption while the work takes place. The works have been scheduled ahead of the school summer holidays to minimise disruption.
