Annual Fiesta programme launches summer activities for children

Hillingdon Fiesta 2021 | Hillingdon Today

This summer, as part of Hillingdon Council’s annual Fiesta programme, an array of exciting activities with dozens of courses on offer for children is being offered between 26th July and 27th August.

The programme has proved extremely popular with families over the years, and this year’s activities will include dance, sports, motor mechanics, first aid, young enterprise courses, cooking, virtual reality sessions and more.

Courses are offered to children and young people in school years 1 to 13 (as of September 2021) who live or are educated in Hillingdon, and will take place at various venues across the borough.

In addition to Fiesta, the council is offering the government’s Holiday Activity and Food Programme this year, with several free activities for children who are eligible for free school meals.

Cllr Susan O’Brien, Hillingdon Council’s Cabinet Member for Families, Education and Wellbeing, said: “We’re really looking forward to our annual Fiesta events. This summer programme is a fantastic opportunity for young people to try their hand at something new, develop their skills and make new friends. We are also pleased to be offering free places for children on free school meals this year, both as part of Fiesta and the Holiday Activities and Food Programme.”

Families are encouraged to book early, with bookings opening online on Wednesday 30 June.
