Holiday activities and food

We believe that everyone deserves a good break and that school holidays are better when there’s a great choice of things to do to keep children and young people active, having fun, being entertained and learning new things.

Newcastle’s Best Summer Ever

A part of our holiday activities and food (HAF) programme, Newcastle’s Best Summer Ever helps children, young people and their parents have fulfilling, active, fun-filled and healthy school holidays. 

Funded by the Department for Education, it is  designed for families who are eligible for free school meals.

Activities may include:

• indoor and outdoor games
• cookery skills
• arts and crafts
• sports, fitness and dance
• health and wellbeing
• quizzes
• park activities
• nature trails
