HAF Northants Easter holiday programme open for bookings
Over 75 per cent of places have already been booked for the HAF Northants Easter holiday programme, with plenty of opportunities still available for eligible children and young people across Northamptonshire.
HAF Northants is available to children aged 5–16 who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals, offering opportunities to stay active, try new activities and connect with others across the Easter school holidays (Monday 30 March to Friday 10 April 2026).
Delivered locally by Northamptonshire Sport in partnership with North and West Northamptonshire Councils, this year’s Easter programme includes 171 camps delivered by 64 providers, across the county.
This year’s Easter programme features a diverse mix of activities, including swimming sessions, theatre shows, cooking workshops, and a wide range of sports, such as tennis, rugby and football. Clubs will take place at venues across the county, with many starting from Monday 30 March.
As well as supporting children’s wellbeing and development, the programme also helps to reduce pressures on families during the school holidays, including the cost of childcare and access to food.
Gary Sheppard, Strategic Director – Active Schools at Northamptonshire Sport, said: “With over 11,000 places already booked for Easter, there’s a clear need for the HAF programme. But there are still plenty of opportunities available across the county and we want to make as many people as possible aware of that.
HAF Northants plays an important role in supporting families during the school holidays, while giving children the chance to stay active and try new things in a safe and supportive environment.”
Parents and carers are encouraged to book soon to secure remaining places, or to share the programme with others who may benefit.
