Soft Archery is among the activities on offer over the half term break.

We have organised some fantastic free activities for young people to enjoy over the half term break.

From Monday 27 October to Friday 31 October, Active Lichfield Communities is hosting exciting sessions including netball, basketball, glow dodgeball and soft archery. There’s also a Skatepark Jam and a special Young Voices event which is inviting young people to give their views on, and ideas for, the district.

The half term activities, aimed at 7 to 19 year-olds, are being held at Burntwood Leisure Centre, Curborough Community Centre and St John’s Community Church, Burntwood.  

All activities are led by qualified, friendly coaches, making them a great way to have fun, and be active over the school break.

Councillor Andy Smith, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Leisure and Major Projects, said:

“There is lots to enjoy in Lichfield District over the half term break with these free activity sessions. Come along and join in the fun.”

There are also a range of swimming sessions available at Burntwood Leisure Centre and Friary Grange Leisure Centre.
