Get making, moving and munching with Holiday Fun in Colchester over the school holidays!
Our drop-in creative activities for families change daily and are available from 10am-2:30pm. Outdoor sports activities for children are a great way to keep active and have fun.
Families can also book into the canteen for a hot, nutritious lunch every day. There is a relaxed dining area available in the canteen – do let us know in advance if you would prefer to be seated here.
Our Holiday Fun activities are for families facing economic challenges or who require additional support during the school holidays, including those that qualify for benefits-based free school meals.
Please visit this page two weeks before and during the school holidays to book free tickets to canteen and sport sessions.
Holiday Fun runs every school holiday and half term. For more information please visit our Holiday Fun page.
