The Sir Jason Kenny Centre in Bolton, Greater Manchester, is running half-term holiday activities to give children active things to do during the February half-term break. The sessions run from Monday, February 16 to Friday, February 20, 2026, and include supervised swimming, gym sessions and other sports activities while schools are closed.
Activities at the centre, which is located inside the Bolton One complex, include intensive week-long (Monday–Friday) swimming lessons and a range of sport and gym sessions for children and young people. Families can also take part in family swim sessions and “splash” sessions. The centre encourages families to register for a free Junior Leisure Card — Bolton residents under 17 can access free swimming with the card — and other concessions may be available.
The programme is currently delivered by Bolton Community Leisure Trust, with the centres being managed day-to-day by Serco on behalf of the trust, working with Bolton Council. These activities take place shortly before a planned management change: Bolton Middlebrook Leisure Trust has been appointed as the council’s managing agent for five leisure sites (including the Jason Kenny Centre) and will take over that role from April 1, 2026.
Parents can book spaces for their children via the Bolton Leisure website, through the centre’s booking app or by contacting the centre directly. The holiday dates match the Bolton Council school term dates for 2025/26, ensuring the programme runs while local schools are closed for half-term.
