Families in Warrington, Cheshire, can soon book free activity sessions and meals for their children during the upcoming Easter 2026 school holidays. Warrington Borough Council has announced that the local holiday activity and food programme is returning to help parents with the costs of childcare and food.
Residents can browse the list of available clubs and activities from 9 March 2026 to see what is on offer in their local neighbourhood. Official bookings for the sessions will go live at 12pm on Friday 13 March 2026 through the council’s online portal.
The scheme is specifically for school-aged children between 4 and 16 years old who are eligible for benefit-related free school meals. It is funded by the Department for Education to ensure children have a safe place to socialise and stay active while school is closed.
Children attending the clubs will take part in different activities including sports, crafts, and physical games. Every child will also be provided with at least one healthy meal during each session they attend.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to book early once the portal opens, as places at the various holiday clubs are limited. The programme aims to support local families by providing structured activities and nutritious food outside of the normal school term.
