Prepare for a fun-filled February half-term as Cardiff Council returns with an exciting activity programme to keep the kids entertained.
There are hundreds of different activities taking place over the five day break at 12 venues across Cardiff with each facility running their own individual schedule of events throughout the half-term break.
Trampolining, dodgeball, cricket, street dance, cheerleading and indoor golf are among the some of the events going on around the city
Western Leisure Centre is hosting its Street Striker Competition for football enthusiasts whilst Pentwyn promises to give swimmers an unusual surprise when they turn the pool pink!
For children who like to get on their bike Maindy Centre are running their cycling activity Track Attack or for those who like to have their cake and eat it, Llanishen Leisure Centre are hosting Creative Capers which gives children the chance to have-a-go at creative activities such as cake decorating.
Fairwater Leisure Centre is preparing to give kids a forces experience with Army Orienteering and Eastern Leisure Centre are getting in a spin by holding break-dancing lessons.
There is soft play and inflatable sessions running for the under fives and the free school holidays swimming scheme for children is back for the eighth year running.
The free swimming initiative is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and allows all children and young people aged 16 years and under living in Cardiff to go swimming absolutely free of charge in any of the seven swimming pools
There are also several free swimming activities on offer such as fun with snorkels and masks and Wet and Wild Pool parties with pool inflatable and floats and for children who are less confident in the water the Council offers half price crash-course swimming lessons.
Councillor Nigel Howells, Executive Member for Sport, Leisure and Culture, said: “Cardiff Council strives to offer a diverse range of activities for children and young people across the city.
“We are well aware of the needs of parents and carers to keep children occupied and entertained during school breaks and we are committed to providing active sessions to keep them active and healthy”.
