EAST YORKSHIRE – Families across Beverley and the wider East Riding are being invited to sign up for this year’s Easter Holiday Activities and Food programme, with the council saying more than 200 sessions will be available during the school break.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council says the programme will include a wide mix of activities for children aged four to sixteen, ranging from pony trekking and go karting to water sports designed for children with special educational needs and disabilities, as well as hi rope aerial adventures. Sessions will take place at locations across the East Riding over the Easter holidays.
The scheme is aimed in particular at families on lower incomes. The council says children from households receiving benefits related free school meals or council tax support will be able to take part free of charge. Other families will also be able to book places, although they will have to pay, with costs depending on the activity and provider.
Parents and carers can now register their interest through the council’s new booking system, with formal bookings due to open at 2pm on Monday 16 March 2026. Click here: https://eequ.org/eastridinghaf
Councillor Victoria Aitken, the council’s cabinet member for children, families and education, said the programme gives children from low income households the chance to enjoy a healthy meal alongside enriching activities during the holidays. She said this year’s offer again includes a broad range of options, including sport, music, dance, crafts, nature based sessions and animal encounters.
