Holiday Activities

Whether you need childcare during the long school holiday or simply want plenty of great activities lined up to keep your kids busy and entertained, there are lots of options. After recent times, keeping young children active and sociable is vital for their mental and physical well-being, and summer is the perfect time to give it a go!

There’s Loads to Do this summer!

Manchester City Council has teamed up with communities and activity leaders across the area to bring all school holiday activities and events on one website.

They want to celebrate their courage in 2022 Our Year, and make sure there are plenty of ways for them to stay stimulated and have fun when they’re off school. Whether you’re looking for activities for younger children or older young people, there’s something for everyone on Loads to Do. Let’s have a great summer this year, making new friends, learning new skills and most importantly having fun! W: www.loadstodo.co.uk/schoolhols
