Holiday Club & Holiday Activities

Keep the kids active and healthy during this holiday at John Orwell Sports Centre. In partnership with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we have a wide range of activities available at JOhn Orwell. It’s the perfect place for children to try something new, be active, make new friends and have a lot of fun. 

Our 'Holiday Club' takes place every Easter and summer holiday period. Qualified staff keep the kids happy and entertained with a variety of sports and leisure activities, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe hands.

Holiday Club

Our Holiday Club runs weekdays, Monday to Thursday, during the summer holiday periods, between the hours of 9am - 5pm (including bank holidays). Week 1 will be taking place from 1st August. Our Holiday Club is strictly for children aged 5-16 years old.

Each day the children will participate in a number of different activities ranging from sports activities to arts and crafts. All children are required to bring their own packed lunch, snacks, and plenty of drinks/water to keep them going throughout the day. Also, some activities will be taking place outside, so please apply sunscreen/sun protection before arrival, if necessary. Daily weather conditions must be considered and children should bring their own personal sunscreen and appropriate outdoor clothing to enable each child to particpate in outdoor activities. Every day is pre-planned by qualified centre Holiday Club staff and daily activity planners are visible on arrival/registration each day.
