Packed programme of May half-term activities across Telford and Wrekin

Families across Telford and Wrekin are being encouraged to get active, creative and outdoors this May half-term, with a packed programme of fun and affordable activities taking place at leisure centres, parks and cultural venues across the borough.

From Monday 25 May to Sunday 31 May, children and young people can enjoy a wide range of activities including swimming and fun floats, soft play, cycling, golf, adventure activities and outdoor games, alongside cultural and creative sessions delivered in community venues.

Many activities are available at low cost, with selected sessions free to attend, helping families enjoy the school break without stretching household budgets. The programme builds on the council’s ongoing commitment to providing inclusive, accessible leisure and culture opportunities close to home.

Highlights include sessions at Telford Town Park, activities at local leisure centres, cycling opportunities through the Telford Bike Hub and outdoor fun across neighbourhood parks and green spaces. Booking is required for some activities and families are encouraged to plan ahead for popular sessions.

Councillor Angela McClements, Telford & Wrekin Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture & The Arts, said: 

“We know how important it is for families to have plenty of affordable, enjoyable activities to look forward to during the school holidays. Our May half-term programme offers something for everyone – whether that’s keeping active, trying something new or enjoying time together outdoors.

“These activities make the most of our brilliant leisure facilities, parks and cultural spaces across the borough, helping children and young people stay healthy, happy and engaged while having lots of fun close to home.”

Families can view the full programme of May half-term activities, including times, locations and booking information on the Telford & Wrekin leisure website.
