Bookings now open: Holidays Are Fun Easter Activities

Arts and crafts, ice skating, football and gymnastics are just some of the free activities on offer for eligible children across the Borough during the Easter holidays.

Bookings for the Holidays Are Fun (HAF) programme, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis, are open from today (March 23).

Sessions will run from Tuesday, April 7 to Saturday, April 18. 

The sessions, which are available for children aged from reception to Year 11, also come with a free nutritious meal.

The HAF programme is funded by the Department for Education and delivered by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.

The activities are available for families in the Borough who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals.

Councillor Clare Besford, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: "The Holidays Are Fun programme is a beneficial way to ensure children are learning whilst having fun during the holidays. 

"There are plenty of activities for children to get involved in so there definitely is something for everyone."

Bookings will remain open subject to availability. If bookings are full, you can join the waiting list in order to be notified when a space becomes available.
