Children in Royston are being encouraged to play outside this summer through free explorer packs.

The packs are available at the Hedera Gardens development on Hampshire Road from housebuilder Redrow South Midlands.

Each one contains mini magnifying glasses, customisable binoculars, mini bug catcher nets, bug stickers, crayons, and seeded paper for at-home plant cultivation.

The explorer packs will be subject to availability while stocks last.

Sales director for Redrow South Midlands, Andrew Newman, said: "With school officially out for summer, we’re thrilled to be offering explorer packs to children in Royston to encourage them to get to know the wonderful nature we have on our doorstep.

"Here at Redrow South Midlands, all of our developments are thoughtfully designed to be as play-friendly as possible, with wider streets and cul-de-sacs.

"Green spaces and playgrounds on site really make our developments the ideal place for children to grow, learn and explore.

"We’re proud to be setting the standard for other developers in prioritising children’s need for outdoor play and look forward to welcoming playmakers of all ages to pick up their packs.

"With limited numbers available, we’d encourage anyone interested to be quick to avoid disappointment – may the forest be with you."
