Time for a Stagecation? Things to see and do in Peterborough this Summer, as “Kids Go Free”
With the announcement that local children, under 16, will be able to travel by bus for free throughout August, Stagecoach Easy, has suggested places in and around Peterborough to enjoy a great ‘Stagecation’ - to visit and enjoy the best that the region has to offer.
More people will be holidaying at home, this year, the local bus operator hopes that people will turn their ‘staycation’ into a ‘Stagecation’ and take advantage of the government’s Kids Go Free scheme, which will make it even more affordable to get around.
