Activities and venues

There are plenty of fantastic activities happening across the county as part of the Holiday Activities and Food programme. Programmes run in the spring (Easter), summer, autumn (October) and winter school holidays. 

Children and young people can access the following:

  • 4 days of face-to-face activity in spring (Easter)
  • 12 days of face-to-face activity in summer
  • 4 days of face-to-face activity in autumn (October half term)
  • 4 days of face-to-face activity in winter

Book your place

Bookings for summer activities will open on Monday, 30 June. The council's approved holiday clubs are listed on an external booking system, called Eequ and is also where you can book places. You will need to register an account to book. View Eequ’s Privacy Statement. Further support can be requested at hello@eequ.org

All Nottinghamshire approved programmes will state 'Funded by Nottinghamshire County Council' in orange text on the listing. Any listings that do not have the orange ‘Funded by Nottinghamshire County Council’ are not associated with the HAF Nottinghamshire programme and checks should be made before booking with other holiday clubs.

See a video showing how the Eequ system works on a mobile phone or tablet, or on a desktop/laptop. 

This summer, don't miss your chance for a free family activity day at Adventures! Find out more in the family activity days section.
