Enjoy freshly made hot meals for all the family over the Summer school holiday at Firstsite’s canteen in Colchester town centre.
Meals are free for families that require additional support during the school holidays, including those that qualify for benefits-based free school meals. Meals are available for children and their caregivers, we ask that caregivers stay on site throughout the meals.
Relaxed dining area
We offer an area to one side of our canteen which is quieter and more private, with a range of sensory toys. Any family that would prefer to have their lunch in the relaxed area please email [email protected] or speak to us on the day.
