How to request a booking
Please select 'request a booking' for the recreation centre that you would like your child to attend and complete the form.
We are using a new system so once you have submitted your booking request and it has been confirmed, you will receive a separate confirmation email from the recreation centre. This may take a couple of days to come through. If a date is not visible in the online form, that day is full and not available to be booked. You may be able to request a booking at an alternative recreation centre for that date.
To find out more about how our holiday programmes work, make sure you read the terms and conditions. You'll find out everything you need to know about what to do if you are going to be late or have to miss a session, before and after care arrangements, and health and safety.
