Lancaster City Council - taking the boredom out of school holidays
Holiday activities
Plenty of activities on offer throughout the May half term.
Lancaster City Council is offering a variety of activities during the May school holidays (Tuesday May 26 – Friday May 29) for children aged between 4 and 16 years old.
But you’ll have to be quick - places fill up very quickly for these popular activities.
Exciting brand new workshops include BMX biking at Preston Pirates Club Track, snowboarding/tubing at Rossendale Ski Club, wildflower hunt at Heysham Head or gymnastics at Salt Ayre Sports Centre.
Other favourites on offer are karate, archery, fencing, multi-skills and trampolining. The more adventurous might like to try indoor climbing/abseiling and horseriding.
There's loads on offer at Salt Ayre Sports Centre for cyclists too.
Cycle skills - for children aged between six and nine - off road sessions - open to all abilities.
Cycle skills - for youngsters aged between 10 and 13 years old. An off-road session covering National Standards Level 1. All those completing the training can advance to the on-road training including a bike ride the following day.
Unfortunately the 'Learn to Cycle' courses continue to prove very popular with those who can't yet ride without stabilisers and are fully booked. However, if you would like to place your child's name on the waiting list or receive details about future courses, please call 01524 582392 or email celebratingcycling@lancaster.gov.uk.
All full and half day sessions taking place during the week are in a fun and safe environment and supervised by experienced coaches.
Apart from the cycle skills sessions, equipment is provided for all activity workshops and transport is on offer for some of the sessions. Different age groups apply to certain activity workshops. Places on all the activities offered are strictly limited to ensure a high quality coaching session.
A copy of the activities programme and booking form is available on Lancaster City Council's website – www.lancaster.gov.uk/holidayprogramme or from Salt Ayre Sports Centre, Lancaster and Morecambe Town Halls, Lancaster and Morecambe Tourist Information Centres and the council's community pools at Hornby, Carnforth and Heysham.
Places can be booked and paid for at Salt Ayre Sports Centre, Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm or by contacting the booking information line on (01524) 842493, between the same times. There is also another chance to pay in person at Salt Ayre Sports Centre from 10am to 7pm on Wednesdays.
