SUMMER HOLIDAYS 2026

Active Barnsley will again be running a Healthy Holidays Club at Shaw Lane Sports Club in the Summer holidays. This is part of the Holiday Activities & Food Programme 2026, funded by Barnsley Council, which aims to provide children that are eligible for means tested free school meals, with free activities and a lunch during the school holidays.

The club will provide a wide variety of fun activities each day, with a focus on multi-sports, and plenty of arts, crafts and games options mixed in.

Please Note: The multi sport activities will take place outside on grass (weather provided), so it is important for attendees to bring footwear for both outdoor and indoor use, as well as relevant clothing and a sports bottle.

Venue: Shaw Lane Sports Club, Shaw Lane, Barnsley S70 6HZ

Dates: TBC

Time: 9am - 3pm

For: Children aged 7 - 14 years

All places are strictly by pre-booking only, there will be no walk-up availability on the day. When making a booking for a child that is eligible for means tested free school meals, your child's name, date of birth and address must exactly match the records held by Barnsley Council. Please do not use abbreviated forenames.

You can book your childs/childrens place through the Barnsley MBC Website:

A booking is only confirmed once you receive a confirmation email.

Unfortunately we are not able to offer additional support to children during our sessions. Please contact Barnsley MBC for suitable provision if your child requires any additional support.

There will be a free daily lunch provided, with the choice of a hot or cold option. The menu will be available to view on the morning of each session. Unfortunately we are not able to cater for individual dietary requirements.
