Holiday hubs will keep kids busy during the Easter holidays

28/03/2022

Sessions are running locally at the North Oxfordshire Academy and Spiceball Leisure Centre

There’s just a couple of weeks to go until the school Easter holidays. Parents who are on the lookout for ways to keep their youngsters entertained during the break are being reminded that Cherwell District Council will be running their Easter holiday activity hubs during the period.

Running from April 11th to the 22nd, the hubs will keep young people happy and active while they are off school, with a variety of games, sports, arts and crafts on offer.   Children will be split into two age groups, five to seven year olds and over eights.

Locally sessions will be running at the North Oxfordshire Academy and Spiceball Leisure Centre.

The council is able to offer free places and food to children eligible for free school meals, thanks to support from the government’s Holiday Activity Fund.

Councillor Phil Chapman, Lead Member for Leisure and Sport, said: “Our aim with the hubs is to let young people explore something new while building their confidence and forming new friendships.

“We’ve got activities designed to develop sporting skills like balance, coordination and agility. But teamwork, social skills and creativity are key as well, and our wonderful staff have the expertise to make sure there is something for everyone to enjoy.”

Places can be booked here.
