Kids Inspire Free Holiday Clubs – Summer 2026

Our free Holiday Club is run once a week during most school holidays. This summer, we will be hosting five holiday clubs at our Head Office. The clubs create a safe space for children to:

  • participate in meaningful activities
  • make friends and socialise
  • access lunch and snacks

All of this is while developing social and communication skills and exploring new talents or interests.

Holiday Club sessions are booked and offered to families according to criteria. Priority will be given to those from lower income families, in receipt of pupil premium or eligible for free school meals, however anyone can apply and we will allocate spaces accordingly. Activities are free and suitable for children aged 6 and over in primary school. For more information you can read our Holiday Club Terms and Conditions.

Upcoming dates for 2026 Holiday Clubs are as follows:

Activities are held at our Kids Inspire HQ, Hargrave House, Hollycroft, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, CM2 7FW
