Families across Telford and Wrekin can access a range of low-cost and free activities during the upcoming May half-term, with a new programme running from Monday 25 May to Sunday 31 May 2026. Published by Telford & Wrekin Council, the initiative aims to help local households keep children engaged and active during the school break without putting extra strain on family budgets.
The programme offers a variety of sessions hosted at leisure centres, local parks, and cultural venues. Children and young people can take part in swimming with fun floats, soft play, golf, adventure activities, and outdoor games. Additionally, those interested in cycling can visit the Telford Bike Hub, located next to the Town Park Visitor Centre, which provides bike hire alongside specialized Learn to Ride and adaptive cycling sessions.
Councillor Angela McClements, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Tourism, Culture & The Arts, noted that the programme aligns with the council’s commitment to providing inclusive and accessible opportunities for residents. To further assist families, the council also operates the Telford Loyalty Card scheme, which provides reduced-price access to a range of sports and leisure facilities for eligible residents, including children and those with disabilities.
As some sessions may be popular, residents are encouraged to check the details and book in advance. Full information regarding session times, locations, and how to reserve a spot can be found on the Telford & Wrekin leisure website.
