It is important to book, especially if your child(ren) would like a meal; it will help the food providers and also help those planning sports and crafts, so please go to:

When booking, you will be asked if your child is eligible for Income-related free school meals so the Council can keep a record of how the funding is being used.

If you happen to be in the open space on one of the days HAF + HAP is taking place, you and your children will be welcome to join in the activities, whether you have booked or not.

| Activity Description |
Each day there will be at least one craft activity on offer which will be listed at the information table plus colouring sheets/greetings cards to colour / I-Spy style nature activities. We have some environment message posters that we’d love you to colour: the best we will laminate and tie to the park railings so you can see them displayed the next session! Some days our volunteers will include keen gardeners who will provide small pots and compost and seeds for flower/vegetable/herb planting.
There will be other sports equipment, such as swingball, for you to use and (weather-permitting) mats with toys on for you to sit on and play with babies/toddlers.
The Open Space contains a playpark which is open at all times for children to use.
