Free kids activities this Easter

Thousands of free places for Easter activities, including sports, arts and crafts, baking, games and trips out, are available for parents and carers of children eligible for income-related free school meals.

Cheshire East Council, together with local schools, childcare providers and community and voluntary organisations, are offering thousands of free activities over the Easter school holidays. 

These include sessions for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities and include a nutritious meal each day.  

The free places are funded by the Department for Education, as part of the government’s Holiday Activity Fund programme. Parents and carers not eligible for the free places, are asked to contact the activity organisers directly, as some do offer fee-paying sessions.

The programme sits alongside the government’s household support fund, which aims to help families across England with the cost of food, energy, water bills and other essentials.
