The Spinney is a wonderful community woodland playspace in South Lincolnshire which adults and children can visit 365 days a year.


It provides a fantastic setting where everyone is allowed to run wild in the woods. There is no entry charge and all activities are free. Adjoining the Spinney there is a large wildflower meadow with mown paths where you can also walk at any time.

The Spinney is situated just north of the village of Little Bytham, which lies 6 miles north of Stamford on the B1176 road.

Staffordshire and Shropshire: Upbeat Early Years - Free Music and movement classes


Our FREE Upbeat Early Years music and movement classes are back for 2025 every Tuesday and Wednesday, our talented creative practitioners run sessions at venues across Staffordshire and Shropshire, providing children (and parents!) with a safe space to have fun and grow through the power of song and dance!

Through simple and exciting music and dance activities, our practitioners will engage your little one, not just getting them up and moving but also helping build their confidence, creativity, mental health, and more! The sessions are funded, which means they're absolutely free, and there's no need to book - just come along and say hi!

Make Some Noise is Stafford-based children's charity that strives to enable access to the creative arts to young people who might not otherwise get the opportunity. For more information about the sessions, or why and how we do what we do, head to make-some-noise.com

Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - E-Scooters




We are continuing to receive reports of young children/teenagers riding E scooters through Stafford Town Centre and surrounding areas at speed.

Whilst this is extremely dangerous - E Scooters are illegal to ride on a public highway/place.

Today, officers have seized 2 E Scooters that had been seen to be riding through the town. They will now be sent for destruction.

Can we please ask parents to be mindful of the laws for E Scooters.

The laws are in place to protect both the riders and the general public.
