Families set for a fun and affordable February Half Term

Families across Telford and Wrekin are set for an action‑packed week this February, as Telford & Wrekin Council unveils its February Half Term Activity Programme, running Monday 16 – Sunday 22 February 2026.

The programme offers a wide range of affordable, active and family‑friendly sessions designed to help children and young people stay active, try something new and enjoy the school break close to home.

TW Leisure centres and outdoor venues will host a huge mix of activities, including fun & floats, badminton, table tennis, driving range sessions, Telford Aerial Adventure, Ski School, tobogganing, tennis, soft play, the Bike Hub, Adventure Golf, Disc Golf, and the hugely popular Urban Games.

Many sessions are available for just £2 with a junior TLC card, making the programme one of the most accessible and affordable half‑term offers across the Borough.

Councillor Angela McClements, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Tourism, Culture and the Arts, said: “We know how important it is for families to have access to affordable, active and enjoyable things to do during the school holidays. Our February Half Term Activity Programme is packed with value‑for‑money sessions across the Borough, giving children and young people the chance to try new activities, keep active and have fun close to home.

"We’re incredibly proud of the range on offer this year from swimming and racket sports to Ski School, cycling and outdoor adventures. Whether you’re looking for something energetic, confidence‑building or simply a great family day out, there’s something for everyone.”

With activities running every day throughout the week, families are encouraged to book early, especially for popular sessions such as Skate4Life crash courses, Learn to Ride, 1‑to‑1 cycling sessions, Ski School, and Aerial Adventure.

The holiday programme also includes free Dr Bike checks at Telford Bike Hub and a wide selection of free Urban Games sessions across local parks and green spaces.
