Highlights include:

• Paddleboarding and kayaking
• High ropes adventures
• Inclusive adapted cycling

• Arts and crafts
• Music and songwriting workshops
• STEM activities
• Fossil hunting and rock pooling
• Family board games
• Cooking and baking sessions

• The ever-popular BridMas summer Christmas celebration

Many activities are completely free, while others have only a small charge to help cover costs.

Supporting Young People's Wellbeing

The programme isn't just about keeping children occupied during the holidays—it's about helping young people:

• Stay active and healthy
• Build confidence
• Learn new skills
• Make new friends
• Spend time outdoors
• Improve their wellbeing
• Feel connected to their local community

Several activities are specifically designed to support young people moving from Year 6 into Year 7, helping ease the transition to secondary school through fun, supportive workshops delivered by the East Riding Mental Health Support Team alongside Active Communities.

Inclusive Activities for All

The programme also includes a number of inclusive opportunities, including the All Ride Adapted Cycling Scheme, which offers adapted bicycles so disabled children and young people can enjoy cycling safely along Bridlington's seafront. These sessions are free but should be booked in advance.

Families eligible for the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme will also find a wide range of funded activities available throughout the summer.

Delivered Through Partnership

The programme has been developed through the Bridlington Youth Partnership, bringing together organisations from across the town to make it easier for families to discover what's happening locally.

Partners include:

• Active Communities

• The Hinge Centre
• Rewilding Youth
• East Riding of Yorkshire Council
• NHS Mental Health Support Team

Together, these organisations are creating opportunities for young people to stay active, build friendships and enjoy a safe, fun-filled summer
