Looking for things to do during the summer school holidays? Then look no further!
Manchester City Council has teamed up with communities and activity leaders across the area to put all school holiday activities and events onto one website: www.loadstodo.co.uk/schoolhols
There are plenty of fun activities to keep children and young people entertained, from sporty holiday camps to family-friendly events. Plus, as many of them are free or low cost, they won’t break the bank.
Here are just some of the highlights:
- MCRactive’s Summer of Sport with multisports camps and activities at leisure facilities across the city, including squash, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, athletics, water sports, basketball and BMX
- Free swimming for young people under 16 during school-holiday public-swim sessions
- Bikeability at Boggart Hole Clough, with guided rides, workshops, and activities for all ages
- Exhibitions in our museums, including a new display dedicated to Lily Parr (one of football’s first female superstars), the Little Suffragettes trail at the People’s History Museum, and Manchester Museum’s newest exhibition, Wild, which explores our relationship with the natural world
- The Blue Peter Book Club Badge Trail – a trail to locate the 12 Blue Peter badges hidden across the city and have a chance of winning a set of Blue Peter Book Club books.
There is also a free holiday club programme for children on benefits-related free school meals, including thousands of FREE places for children's activities over the school holidays. In addition to the activities, each booked place will include a FREE meal during the day. Find out more here: mcractive.com/activity/haf
So let the kids have a great summer this year, by making new friends, learning new skills and, most importantly, by having fun!
