This February half term, The Cheltenham Trust is offering a varied programme of activities for families across its venues, with options for all ages at Leisure at Cheltenham, Cheltenham Town Hall and The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum.
At Leisure at Cheltenham, families can enjoy a packed schedule of half-term activities, including a Half-Term Party with Cotswolds Children’s Parties, featuring music, balloons, puppets, bouncy castles and soft play. There is also a Multi Sports Camp running throughout the week, offering football, archery, pickleball, Nerf games and swimming. Additional sessions include inclusive SEND inflatable soft play with sensory toys and a dedicated igloo, Splash, Swim and Floats sessions, Kids Zumba classes, and one-to-one swimming lessons.
At The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum, children can take part in Creative Explorers, an artist-led holiday club for ages 4–11, designed for young people who enjoy making, sharing and playing. Families can also drop in to Make a Fairytale Book, a free creative session inspired by Paula Rego’s imaginative reworking of classic stories. The Play Café will be open throughout the day, offering a free, relaxed space for families to spend time together.
Cheltenham Town Hall will host Tap Factory, an energetic evening performance combining high-impact dance, live percussion, acrobatics and choreography, offering older children and families a lively half-term theatre experience.
