Bookings now open for Active Hastings’ free Easter activities.

This Easter, Active Hastings are offering free activities and food as part of their Easter Activities and Food Programme, where children can enjoy sports, team games and arts and crafts.

The fully funded multi-sports, arts and craft sessions take place on Tuesday 31 March and Wednesday 1 April at The St Leonards Academy. These sessions are for young people (aged 7-14) in receipt of benefit-related free school meals. The jam-packed sessions are a fantastic way for young people to try their hand at new sports or get crafty with the dedicated crafts team. Activities vary daily, examples include dodgeball, archery, tennis, football, basketball, team challenges, garden games, Easter crafts and much more!

Councillor Glenn Haffenden, leader of the council and lead councillor for sport and leisure, said: “We are delighted to bring back the Easter Holidays Activities and Food programme this year. These sessions not only give children the chance to come together, so they can stay active over the Easter break and have fun with their friends, old and new, they can also enjoy a nutritious lunch.

“The sessions are part of the Government’s Holiday Activities and Food programme, which enables children to enjoy free fun activities and learn and develop new skills.” 

Spaces are limited, so booking is essential. Book your free space and free meal.

Active Hastings is hosted by Hastings Borough Council, in partnership with East Sussex County Council, and brings together a wide range of local and national partners to ensure that everyone in Hastings can get active. There are a range of exercise classes to suit everyone, visit the Active Hastings website for the list of activities happening near you.

Notes to editor: 

Active Hastings works closely with local providers of physical activity to give you easy, fun ways to get your everyday dose of physical activity. It only takes 30 minutes a day for adults and 60 a day for children to get fitter, healthier and happier. You can even break it down into 10 minute slots! 

Active Hastings coordinates the local Community Physical Activity Network, which brings together schools, sport clubs, National Governing Bodies of Sport, health organisations, the voluntary sector and the private sector to work together, unblock barriers to participation and improve the local sport and physical activity delivery system.
