We’re thrilled to let you know that booking is now live for the Eastleigh Active Easter programme, packed full of fun and energetic activities for young people aged 5–16!

New for 2026, the programme will feature Laser Tag, Cricket, and Big Sister Sessions, alongside the return of Free Swimming, which is back by popular demand following its success in previous years.

Whether your child loves trying new sports, staying active, or making new friends, there’s something for everyone. From dynamic games and team challenges to sport skills sessions across the borough, this is a brilliant way to keep the Easter school holidays exciting and active.

Programme Dates:
Tuesday 31 March – Thursday 2 April
Tuesday 7 April – Thursday 9 April

We're committed to breaking barriers and encouraging girls to get involved and improve their health. That's why we've partnered with Places Leisure to offer Big Sister Sessions, creating safe, supportive spaces for girls to enjoy fitness and activities. In addition, the programme includes girls-only sessions across tennis, football, cricket, and street basketball, providing opportunities for young girls to build confidence, develop skills, and have fun.

These additions sit alongside a wide variety of low-cost activities designed to help all young people build confidence, develop new skills, and enjoy being active in a fun, inclusive environment.

We believe every young person should have the opportunity to try new sports and activities without cost being a barrier. That’s why our Easter programme offers a range of low-cost activities, giving young people the chance to explore new skills, discover what they enjoy, and grow in confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

Eligible families can apply for a discount code to book activities for the reduced price of just £1 per session.
