Activities and venues

There are plenty of fantastic activities happening across the county as part of the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. Programmes run in the spring (Easter), summer, autumn (October) and winter school holidays. Children can attend different venues across the county, offering children and young people a variety of activities.

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 the Easter holidays open on Friday 27 February. The council's approved holiday clubs are listed on an external booking system, called Eequ and this 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.

Activities at home

If you can't get to a face-to-face club, there are lots of things you can do to keep entertained at home. Visit the links below for more ideas:

SEND activities

It is extremely important that providers understand if a child has any additional needs. Providers aim to offer high quality and inclusive programmes. It is therefore essential that they are aware of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and any reasonable adjustments can be accommodated.

If a child attends a holiday club without full disclosure of support needs, the holiday club may not be able to offer the full support required, and this could result in the place being withdrawn.

You can also find activities and information about other things to do on the Nottinghamshire SEND Local Offer site.

Not sure which district you are in?

If you aren't sure which district you are in, you can use the government's 'find your local council' search. If you are in Nottinghamshire, it will show you the county council and the name of your district council.
