It’s going to be a cracking Christmas for children and young people in Hartlepool!

Published Monday, 13th December 2021

There are lots of fantastic, fun activities for children and young people in Hartlepool aged 4 to 16 to look forward to over the school Christmas holidays.

An ice rink, festive crafts, Christmas parties, swimming, a forest school, sports, music, cooking, a roller disco, creative technology sessions using 3D printers and laser cutting, yoga and Pokemon-themed maths sessions are just some of what’s in store, and most of the activities are free!

There’ll be plenty to keep children and young people entertained and help them discover new hobbies and skills, make new friends and build their confidence, plus they’ll get tasty meals into the bargain.

It’s all part of Hartlepool Holiday Fun – a project run by Hartlepool Borough Council in partnership with different organisations across the town and funded by the Department for Education – providing activities for children and young people over the main school holidays throughout the year.

“We’ve pulled out all the stops to end the year with an action-packed programme of activities to make it a fantastic Christmas to remember, so don’t delay – book your places now!”
