About

Get making, moving and munching with Holiday Fun in Colchester over the December holidays!

Our drop-in creative activities for families change daily and are available from 10am-2:30pm. Outdoor sports activities for children are a great way to keep active and have fun.

The activities are most suitable for 4–11 years but all ages are welcome.

Families can also book into the canteen for a hot, nutritious lunch every day. There is a relaxed dining area available in the canteen – do let us know in advance if you would prefer to be seated here.

Our Holiday Fun activities are for families facing economic challenges or who require additional support during the school holidays, including those that qualify for benefits-based free school meals.

This project has been funded by the North East Essex Health and Wellbeing Alliance and Wellbeing Alliance and the Neighbourhood programme. Funding is administered through One Colchester
