Families looking for things to do can explore the town’s green spaces, thanks to the free Keep Discovering Kettering Park Bingo passport trail.

The trail invites you to discover green spaces across Kettering to find more than 20 animals and other characters on wooden posts around the town’s parks. Participants can place their passport over the stencil and use a crayon to colour it in.

Printed passports contain a guide to the locations of the posts, you will need to explore the park to find the post and a blank space for your rubbing so you can collect them all. Passports can be picked up from several venues across Kettering.
