Lancaster City Council is offering a variety of activities during the April and May school holidays (Monday, April 6 – Friday April 17, excluding the bank holiday weekend) and (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, nature trail at Happy Mount Park or gymnastics at Salt Ayre Sports Centre.

Other favourites on offer are karate, archery, fencing, cycle skills, multi-skills and trampolining. The more adventurous might like to try the indoor climbing/abseiling, skiing, horseriding and orienteering workshops.

Full and half day sessions are in a fun and safe environment and supervised by experienced coaches.

Equipment is provided for all 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.
