A break from school doesn't have to mean a break from learning, as the Warwick Military Heritage Network launches its children's activity trail for the summer holidays.

The free activity passport can be collected from the Visitor Information Centre (VIC) on Jury Street, Warwick. Children can take a trip around the town to visit the venues, learn more about the military history of the town, answer the questions in the activity passport then return it to the VIC to collect their free goody bag.

The goody bag includes branded items from the town's venues, including a notepad, bookmark, pen, pencil, sticker, medal and badge.

Cllr Jim Sinnott, Portfolio Holder for Safer, Healthier and Active Communities, said: "Warwick has a rich military history so it's fantastic to be able to bring all of this together in one place, so that our children and young people can find out more about the history of their town.

"No matter the weather this summer, the trail is a great opportunity to explore the fascinating venues in our town and entertain the kids while providing some excellent local knowledge."

The activity passport is available to collect from the Visitor Information Centre from Saturday, 19 July, for the duration of the summer holidays (image supplied)
