There will be over 10,000 opportunities for fun this coming Easter thanks to the work of Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Hubb Foundation.

Families have access to free activities over the school break as part of the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme.

This year’s Easter HAF will run from Monday 14th April to Friday 25 April and offer free activities and trips, alongside a healthy meal. There are lots of activities on offer that cater to a wide range of interests, from sports to arts and crafts.

This year, there is a new booking system launching as well, which is designed to be easier for parents to use when booking or cancelling sessions for their children. This will be available to parents from 4pm on Friday 28th March.

Councillor Sarah-Jane Colclough, cabinet member for education and anti-poverty, said: “With lots of fun activities available for free and a new booking system that will make life easier for parents, I encourage all parents in the city to check out the booking website to see what’s on offer. I guarantee there will be something your child will enjoy!”

Councillor Sarah Hill, cabinet member for children’s services, said: “It is important that all children have access to opportunities they need to help them thrive and enjoy their time off school this Easter.

“The HAF programme offers a chance for children to do something really fun, whilst eating a healthy meal during the holidays, which can bring added pressure on parents. Check out the new booking system to see what is going on.”
