HAF Summer in the City 2026

At House of Culture Brighton, our Summer HAF sessions bring colour and creativity to the summer holidays! Children are invited to explore painting, printing, clay, collage, mixed-media projects, and 3D printing, discovering techniques and creative tools that they might not have access to at home or school. Inspired by summer themes, the natural world, and the spirit of adventure, we balance hands-on art with mindful play, games, and relaxation activities that support confidence and wellbeing. Each day includes a healthy meal, snacks, and plenty of opportunities to connect, imagine, and create together in our welcoming, inclusive studio.

A few terms & conditions from Brighton & Hove City Council:
• Eligibility criteria – Brighton & Hove HAF funded places are for children and young people in reception to year 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals.
• Limits on bookings – Over Summer, Eequ will permit each eligible participant to be booked on to 16 HAF places across all providers in the city. If a session is not attended, HAF places cannot be added back on to an individual’s allocation, regardless of reason. It is therefore important that sessions are cancelled before the activity starts, and ideally giving a minimum of a few days’ notice where possible to allow other children to benefit. Bookings can be managed by the Booker by logging into Eequ and reviewing their Schedule.
