What’s On in Wyre

Wyre Council is embracing a national initiative to get youngsters out and about at Wyre Estuary Country Park in Thornton, Memorial Park in Fleetwood and at Rossall Point in Fleetwood.

Explore our parks, find the markers, complete the challenge, have fun together! Xplorer is the perfect outdoor activity for primary and pre-school children and their families.

Xplorer is a family friendly navigation challenge that is educational and fun. It gives children a sense of adventure as they explore the park to find the markers. It involves a healthy mix of physical activity and decision making that the whole family can enjoy together. No experience of map reading is necessary and parents are encouraged to join in!

Older children will have fun competing against their friends or other family members whilst younger children will enjoy the excitement of successfully finding the markers.

All our xplorer activities cost just 50p and you can find details of Wyre’s events at

What’s On in Wyre Appeal for Tram Sunday volunteers Fleetwood Festival of Transport, affectionately known as Tram Sunday locally, may be over 30 years old but it’s still one of the most popular family events in Lancashire.

On Sunday 16 July, over 200 classic and vintage vehicles will be on display in the town as around 70,000 people come together to enjoy a day of brilliant and free entertainment.

Don’t be fooled into thinking this event is just for transport enthusiasts; yes there will be classic cars, motorbikes, buses, lorries and trams of course, but you’ll also find a great variety of fun-packed attractions and entertainment, not least the SpareParts Arts Festival.

The event is run entirely by volunteers and they are appealing for new recruits to help make this year’s event better than ever.

Peter Brown, committee member, said: “Since taking over Tram Sunday in 2010, and first incorporating SpareParts in 2013, the current management team has developed the event to the extent that it is now probably one of the largest free annual events of any type in the UK, and certainly one planned and managed purely by unpaid volunteers.

“However, as Tram Sunday has grown, we require more volunteers – especially people from a management background who may be able to help co-ordinate different aspects of this now major event.

“The committee is looking for volunteers who can help with aspects such as marketing, administration and tracking down new exhibits and attractions, and work within our team. This would attract individuals who are interested in all things transport and/or all aspects of the arts.”

Anyone interested should email Tramsundayhelp@gmail.com for further details. tramsunday.co.uk
