What we'll do
Each day at Woodlands Summer HAF is bursting with excitement — from learning circus tricks and dancing at JoJo’s party to crafting colourful epoxy resin creations or designing their own unique jewellery. Children and young people get hands-on with animals, paddle into water sports at New Brighton Beach, explore thrilling times at Crocky Trails and let their imaginations run wild in drama workshops. They'll build culinary skills in fun cooking sessions, set off on seaside adventures to Blackpool and New Brighton, and take part in our epic sports day. To top it all off, we celebrate with our massive Family Fun Day — complete with a wide variety of inflatables and the ever-popular 0151 Entertainments. Best of all - every child receives a free hot or cold lunch and tasty snacks each day, keeping them fueled for the endless physical fun — whether they’re sprinting, stretching, or exploring.

About your mentor
Woodlands Community Centre Ltd
A Community Centre for the Community
Tucked at the far end of Netherley, Woodlands Community Centre is a thriving hub of creativity, learning, and togetherness for people of all ages. As a committed provider for the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, we offer inclusive, high-quality support during school holidays, especially for families eligible for benefit-related free school meals. Our aim is to make sure no child misses out. While HAF is targeted at eligible families, we strive to welcome everyone. Depending on available funding, we extend our offer more widely, and a small charge may apply for those outside the target group. Our activities are as varied as our community itself—from our after-school Kids Club and Youth Club to half-term and summer holiday fun, including street dance, crafts, cooking sessions, and more. We also host projects like floristry, line dancing, community meals, and events that bring different generations together and strengthen local connections. At Woodlands, we believe in making every child feel seen, supported, and inspired and giving families a safe, friendly place they can call their own.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
