With the Easter Holidays fast approaching (Monday 1st April - Friday 12th April 2024), it’s time to start thinking about fun things to do! 

At Better, we have a wide range of activities available at all 4 of our leisure centres in Hillingdon to keep kids active and healthy during the half-term holidays. It’s the perfect place for children to try something new; be active; make new friends and have a lot of fun! 

See below a list of activities and events starting this Easter half-term!:
