Big fun for little ones! Our Mini Sports Day is designed especially for children aged 7 and under to enjoy active play in a safe, supportive setting.
With a mix of gentle races, playful challenges, and team games, it's all about trying new things, building confidence, and having a brilliant time – all with the support of a parent or carer nearby.
Parents or carers must stay for the session, so come along, cheer them on, and share in the fun! It's a great way to get moving together and make happy summer memories.
Funded by the Healthy Holidays Activities and Food programme all sessions will include a free packed lunch for the participant.
