Easter holiday activities in Brighton and Hove

April 11, 2011

April 21, 2011

There’s a wide range of activities for children in Brighton & Hove during the Easter holidays from Monday April 11 to Thursday April 21.

There are sports courses organised by Brighton & Hove City Council for children aged 4-14 years at a variety of venues across the city. They include:

Basketball

Golf

Tennis

Water Sports

Multi-sports

The courses vary from two hour sessions to a whole week, and they are for all abilities – everyone is welcome.

The council’s sports development team works closely with local sports clubs – such as the Brighton Cougars Basketball Club, who are helping run the Basketball courses – to make sure children can continue to enjoy sport after the holiday programmes finish.

The council is also organising community activities ranging from Easter Egg hunts to family fun days, gardening events and a skate jam during the holidays.

For full information please visit www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/eastersports for more information or phone 01273 292721.

The courses and community activities are popular so get your forms in as quickly as possible to avoid disappointment!

The Great Brighton Ice Cream Competition!

The Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival has teamed up with Child Friendly Brighton and Boho Gelato to launch a competition to find an all-new ice cream flavour for this summer. We are inviting primary school children in Brighton and Hove to enter, and the winning flavour will be crowned during the Spring Harvest food festival week, which runs city wide from 1-10 April 2011. Children can enter by submitting annotated drawings of their ideal ice cream flavour by Friday 18^th March 2011.* After the closing date, the top five flavours will be made into ice cream and tasted by a panel of experts – including local food writer Andrew Kay – at the Live Food Show on 9^th April at the Radisson Blu Royal York Hotel. The winner will be asked to visit the Boho Gelato kitchens in central Brighton to see their ice cream made, then we’ll send a giant tube of ice cream and cones along to the winner’s primary school for their class to enjoy!

From April to September, local restaurants will be stocking The Great Brighton Ice Cream flavour and donating money to local children’s charity Rockinghorse for every purchase!
