Lancaster City Council is cooking up a menu of fun and excitement for youngsters this October half term with a wide range of sports and art activities to suit all tastes.
This year’s programme runs from 24 – 29 October and includes adventure rope courses, BMX track cycling and the chance to receive coaching and enjoy a match at Morecambe FC. Old favourites such as cycling and archery plus extreme sports such as snowboarding and skiing are also on offer.
New for this half term are a whole range of free activities that anyone can enjoy such as children’s bowls, bat walks and nature trails plus a huge range of spooky activities taking place in Lancaster museums.
For a whole week of fun, Sports Mania at Salt Ayre Sports Centre offers children five days of sports and games that include a swim every day and the community pool at Carnforth is offering a whole week of swimming lessons.
Different age groups apply to certain activity workshops. Places on all the activities are strictly limited to ensure a safe and high quality coaching session so it is advisable to book soon. Equipment is provided for all courses and transport is provided for some of the sessions.
A copy of the full activities programme is available on Lancaster City Council’s website – www.lancaster.gov.uk/holidayprogramme or from Salt Ayre Sports Centre, the council’s community pools at Hornby, Carnforth and Heysham and customer service centres at Lancaster and Morecambe Town Halls.
