Holiday activities and food programme

HAF Summer Programme 2026

We've produced an action-packed fun guide to show you all of the great things that are happening across St Helens borough over the summer holidays.

If your child is aged 4-18 and eligible for benefit related free school meal sand would like to attend, please see our list of providers who will be running the activities. Children who are in receipt of a support plan or EHCP are also eligible for the HAF programme.

Take a look at our HAF Summer 2026 Guide (PDF, 7 MB) to see what is happening near you. The guide is presented in a handy calendar format to help you plan activities for each day during the school holidays.

Find FREE events and activities suitable for you using the age ranges next to the listings.

We have endeavoured to ensure that all sessions are SEND friendly, but would advise you to pre-book sessions and speak to the facilitator for further information on suitability and individual requirements for your children.

Booking links will go live at 2pm on Monday 13th July.

We will be further announcing details of 4 Family Hub trips at 5pm on Monday 13th July, Tuesday 14th July, Wednesday 15th July and Thursday 16th July, and booking dates for all trips will be announced when details of the trips are released.
