HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) Programme for Easter 2024

Share:

The Easter HAF programme starts on Tuesday 2 April 2024 and there are lots of great activities happening over the school holidays. Children and young people, from reception to age 16, who are eligible for benefits related free school meals, will be able to access hundreds of activities throughout the Easter holidays including specific provision available for children with SEND or additional needs, at no cost. A meal will be provided for every child attending.

There’s a great range of activities across the city including Easter Egg hunts, Easter parties, bubble football, nerf wars, mindfulness, swimming, football, music, dance, cycling, gymnastics, theatre tech, cooking, discos, podcasting, arts and crafts, drama, basketball, trips out and nature walks!

You can find the nearest scheme by clicking here.

When the parent/carer has chosen the activity/scheme they will need to contact that organisation to book a place. Each organisation will have either a telephone number, email address or online booking system.  If the child has any additional needs or dietary requirements then please discuss their needs with the organisation when booking. There is no central booking system so please read the details of the programmes on the website and contact the providers directly.
