October Half Term Activities with Active Hastings

This October Half Term, Active Hastings have a range of fantastic sport sessions running throughout the week.

The sessions include athletics, inclusive multi sports, street dance, rugby, rounders, Halloween under 5s stay and play, volleyball, Muay Thai, table tennis, girls' football and a Saturday community fun day.

Sarah Ruusuvuori, Active Hastings Youth Link Worker said: "This year's programme has been designed to give all children the opportunity to try their hand at a variety of sports, whatever their ability, everyone is very welcome. The sessions are either free or low cost (with a pay what you can option), to ensure all children have access to a range of activities this half term. The sessions are expected to be very popular, so book early to avoid disappointment."

Councillor Glenn Haffenden, lead councillor for housing and wellbeing at Hastings Borough Council, said: "I am delighted we are offering a wide range of activities for local children this October half term, which are taking place at various locations throughout the town. These sessions are a great way for children to develop their physical and mental wellbeing, as well as bringing children together to build friendships and have fun."
