Families are gearing up for a host of different events to keep children of all ages and abilities engaged and entertained.
There’s something for everyone in our February Half-Term Holiday Fun Booklet, with cycling courses for children aged two and above and a leadership programme aimed at young people between 12 and 17.
Youngsters can get active with a variety of activities, disciplines and sports, including basketball, dance, football, non-contact kickboxing, multi-sports, netball, rollerskating, street gym exercises and tennis.
In order to ensure our activities and events are as accessible and inclusive as possible too, we’ve colour coded them (Blue, Green or Yellow) to show what level of support our providers can offer if additional support is required. If you are unsure, please contact the provider for further information.
Those aged under-16 can benefit from our ‘Kids for a Quid’ promotion and go swimming at either Park Road Leisure Centre (excluding the Lido) and Tottenham Green Leisure Centre for just £1 (*Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult).
There’s also fantastic provision at our dedicated youth centres. At Bruce Grove Youth Space, young people can participate in badminton, basketball, bike building, boxing, calisthenics, chess, cooking, football, gardening, homework club, martial arts, music technology, PlayStation, podcasting, pool and table tennis.
There’s also a two-hour Young Carers’ session between 4:30pm and 6:30pm on Monday afternoon, with three Open Access Days on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Meanwhile, over at Project 2020 on the ground floor of Kenneth Robbins House in Northumberland Park, there will be arts and crafts, calisthenics, cooking club, fun quizzes, gaming, pool, table tennis and an UNO tournament.
Bruce Castle Museum are hosting Islamic Patterns family workshops with artist and educator Samira Mian that are suitable for children aged 7 and above on Wednesday 18 February and Thursday 19 February (1:30pm-4:30pm). Younger siblings are welcome to join.
You can also find out about the hidden heritage of Tottenham and explore a local museum in a Haringey park on the banks of the River Lea during the Markfield Beam Engine and Museum Open Day on Sunday 22 February (10am-3:30pm).
Eagles United Women’s FC and Thru Life are also offering women and girls football training and girls-only football and fitness respectively over this school break.
Activities are available across the borough and, while many are free, some may charge a fee.
Drop-in attendance is welcome for most events, but some require pre-registration to secure a spot. Be sure to check the activity details and contact the right person or organisation.
Keep an eye on the ‘What’s On?’ calendar, which lists all activities and events for children and young people by category, date range, price range and venue. Check back often as new events are added on a regular basis.
Find out what’s happening near you and join us for a wondrous week of adventure and fun!
We look forward to seeing you there next week!
