Online booking for eggs-cellent Easter activities

An exciting programme of activities is on offer for kids this Easter in Charnwood and for the first-time people can book online.

Charnwood Borough Council is introducing a new online booking system for the holiday activity programme and bookings will open on Monday April 1.

The programme is once again offering plenty for the kids to do including archery, tennis and den-building. Activities will run from Monday, April 15 until Friday, April 26.

Zoe Griffiths, sport and active recreation manager at the Council, said: “We’re pleased to be offering another holiday programme with a range of activities, but the main difference is that people will now be able to book their activities online.

“We appreciate it’s not always convenient to call the contact centre during office hours which is why we’ve introduced the online booking system. I hope it offers an easier and alternative way to book activities.”

Activities include a treasure hunt, boxing, arts and crafts, football and orienteering in the Outwoods.

Activities on offer include:

• All-stars cricket
• Archery
• Cheerleading
• Climbing
• Cricket
• Den building
• Dodgeball
• Forest Schools
• Horse riding
• Tennis
• Treasure hunt

Sessions are taking place around the borough including Birstall, Mountsorrel, Shepshed and Loughborough. Prices start from £1 and some activities are free to attend.

Holders of the Council’s Wild Card can also enjoy great discounts on all activities. If you are aged five to 16, or have a disability and live or go to school in Charnwood, you can get your hands on a Wild Card by visiting www.charnwood.gov.uk/wildcard

Activity sessions will not run on Good Friday, April 19 and Easter Monday, April 22.
