Holiday Activities and Food (HAF)

There are lots of great activities taking place across the city as part of the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. Sessions run during the spring (Easter), summer, autumn (October), and winter school holidays.

Children and young people can access:

• 4 days of face‑to‑face activities in spring (Easter)
• 12 days of face‑to‑face activities in summer
• 4 days of face‑to‑face activities in autumn (October half‑term)
• 4 days of face‑to‑face activities in winter

Bookings for the Easter holidays open on Friday 13  March. All approved Nottingham City holiday clubs are listed on an external booking system called Eequ, where you can also make your bookings. You will need to create an account to book. You can view Eequ’s Privacy Statement and request additional support at hello@eequ.org 

All Nottingham City approved programmes will show ‘Funded by Nottingham City Council’ in orange text on the listing. Any programme that does not display this orange label is not part of the Nottingham City HAF programme, so please check carefully before booking.

You can watch a video guide on how the Eequ system works—either on a mobile or tablet, or on a desktop/laptop.

Full details of our providers will be available from 13th March 2026
