Telford & Wrekin Council has announced an exciting line-up of activities for children and young people aged 0 to 16+ this Easter, starting on Monday 14 April.

More than 100 free to attend sports and activity sessions will be held over the two-week Easter break as part of the council’s Urban Games programme.

There are plenty of other activities at venues across the borough ranging from World Wrestling Entertainment, football with AFC Telford United Foundation, Shropshire Cricket and Telford & Wrekin Hockey Club will all be leading sessions to ensure top-notch instruction and plenty of fun. With professional coaches leading the way, every activity is designed to be safe, fun, and completely free to attend.

Each Wednesday, the town park will be buzzing with free activities including the climbing wall and free fall at Aerial Adventure facility as well as fun sports on the playgrounds - football, basketball, dodgeball or badminton - run by the 4 All Foundation who’s mission it is to provide safe spaces, deliver opportunities to promote health and wellbeing and advance education as the key to unlocking potential. 
If your child’s bike has seen better days, Dr Bike will be on-site at the BikeHub, offering free repairs and safety checks, so young cyclists can get back on their bikes without a worry.

For little ones, there's something special too. Wild Telford outdoor sessions are designed for babies and toddlers so they can enjoy nature-themed activities like trails and treasure hunts, all guided by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust. It's a perfect way to introduce younger children to the outdoors and spark their curiosity about nature.

The Urban Games programme is open to young people up to the age of 16 and is funded through the council’s Building Safer and Stronger Communities programme, in partnership with West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner.

Building Safer and stronger communities supports projects that bring people together, reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and are the result of residents’ feedback. If you have an idea for a project in your area, contact the team by email saferstronger@telford.gov.uk
