Half term is here! The good news for parents is that there are a host of free, fun-packed activities to keep young people active in the borough.
Let Me Play – one of the largest activity providers in the borough – have a huge line-up of events. It includes sports, performing arts, fashion and art. Everyone aged 11-19 is invited to take part.
Best of all, activities are free to attend. And all abilities are welcome.
Let Me Play, based in Blythe Road, West Kensington, runs the half-term activities thanks to the financial support of Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
“Half-term is a great time for the borough’s young people to stay active and learn new skills without the pressure of school and homework on their minds,” said Cllr Sue Fennimore, H&F Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion.
“I hope youngsters take advantage of the wide array of events on offer in H&F during the half term.”

One of the stand-out sporting events that should get the little ones excited is the chance to slip, slide and splash across an inflatable obstacle course – in a swimming pool!

The events are held at a variety of different venues across Hammersmith & Fulham, and run from 13 to 17 February.
