Healthy Holidays Sheffield: Summer kids’ activities available for booking from cooking to sports and nature

The aim of the Sheffield Healthy Holidays scheme is to make sure that children of all ages are happy and healthy during school holidays, and a large range of activities and clubs will ensure it is great fun too.

The initiative has developed a programme of activities with partners across the city to bring children together. Whether it's hula-hooping in the park, or having a family cook-off in the kitchen, many activities can be enjoyed at home, outdoors, or with others in your local area.

What’s more, weekly competitions will see some great prizes to be won.

What activities are there?

Here are just some highlights that you could get involved in:

Football Drills and Skills: Practice the drills and skills just like the pros, and hear tips and tricks from Sheffield United captain Billy Sharp.

African Fusion Dance: Learn a fast fusion routine with Angelina from Mulembas D'Africa.

Let’s Cook Project: Each week of the summer, spend some time trying out a new delicious recipe with step-by-step videos, and show off your skills to your family and friends.

Gory Ancient History: Every day is a school day! Join Sheffield Museums for a look into the past to see how the Egyptians made their mummies.
