Children and young people from across south-east Northumberland have the chance to get active and have fun this summer with the launch of the Summer Holiday Programme. 
 

With the school holidays now upon us and Northumberland County Council’s sports development team, working in partnership with local town councils, have lined up an action-packed programme of fun activities to keep young children entertained throughout the summer months - and many of them are free! 
 

A wide selection of activities will be laid on including tennis, cricket, football, dodgeball, archery, bike riding, crazy golf, arts crafts, music and more. 
 

There will also be sports camps run by fully qualified, experienced and enthusiastic coaches. 
 

The programme has been laid on with the generous support of funding from Blyth, Newbiggin, Cramlington and Seaton Valley Town Councils. 

Northumberland’s Ability2Play scheme for young people and adults with learning and physical disabilities will also be running again this summer. There will be a fantastic Stay All Day option where parents can drop their children off and leave them with fully qualified staff for an action-packed day of fun activities. There will also be bowling, cricket, clip n climb, outdoor adventure camps and much more 
 

Northumberland County Councillor Jeff Watson, cabinet member for healthy lives said: 

“The summer holiday programme provides a fantastic way for children to keep active, develop new skills, have fun and make friends, all within a safe environment.”
