Eastleigh Active Easter

It's time for young people to get active!

25 February 2025

It's time for young people to get active in Eastleigh.

The Eastleigh Active programme of sports and activity sessions expands to Easter for a third year to help children and young people across the Borough to escape the everyday this April.

Eastleigh Borough Council’s programme will run Tuesdays to Thursdays, 8 and 10 and 15 and 17 April across the two Easter holiday weeks for five-16-year-olds. It sees the return of popular activities such as Golf, Tennis and CrossFit.

It is funded by the Council’s Health & Wellbeing team, as well as the Local Area Committees, Parish and Town Councils, and supported by a broad range of partners including sports clubs, activity providers and venues. This has enabled activities to be subsidised at £3.50 per session, only £1 for families on Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support, and Free Swimming is back at Wildern Leisure Centre only.

Sessions require pre-bookings with staggered release dates 4 and 6 of March, with Free Swimming pre-registration opening 7 March.

The Council’s Cabinet Member for Health, Councillor Tonia Craig, said: “We are excited about the Easter programme which will help school-aged children and teens meet new friends, discover new hobbies and above all – have fun! We are committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of all our community and there’s something for every family with free options, and a discounted Sessions rate of just £1 for households in receipt of Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support.”
