The Big Norfolk Holiday Fun programme is a Norwich City Council scheme, delivered at a number of venues across Norfolk this summer by the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation.
Venues include; The Nest, Peggotty Road, Cadge Road, Tuckswood, Catton Grove and Charter Academy, Great Yarmouth – where it will be on every week.
It’s completely FREE and will give your child access to lots of different activities to help keep them busy, active and healthy over the holidays!
This year it will take place Monday-Thursday throughout the summer holiday other than the last week of August – which will be Tuesday-Friday due to the bank holiday Monday.
The sessions will be mixed sports as before, with a day trip to Hautbois Activity Centre in Coltishall every Thursday of each week (for children who attend all week).
A hot meal will be provided each day.
The sessions are open to those who are eligible for means-tested free school meals and are aged between 5-16.
