A square graphic promoting the Summer of Fun for Sandwell's children and young people

Sandwell Council has a summer of fun planned – there's a huge range of exciting activities lined up across Sandwell for children, young people and families over the school summer holidays.

Sandwell Holiday Activities have something for everyone, whether it’s sports, music, dance, art, drama, cooking or thrilling day trips.

Our Youth Service will be running activity days for young people aged 11-19 (up to 25 for those with SEND) in each of our six towns, check out activity days in parks.

Go Play Sandwell will be running free activities for children aged 5-12 at various locations, plus the National Play Day Summer Tour free events.

With bostin fun in our libraries, museums and leisure centres too, there's lots to discover this summer in Sandwell. 

Funding from the Holiday Activities and Food programme is supporting the summer holiday offer.

You can also check a range of events for all ages on our Visit Sandwell website and more information for families with our Family Information Service.

Check out our Sandwell Herald webpage for our four-page Summer of Fun 2024 guide. This gives a taste of what's on offer for children and young people in Sandwell this summer.

Plus, the guide signposts advice on exam results, employment and training, and emotional wellbeing support, with further advice and support available on our Just Youth website.

Councillor Jalal Uddin, Sandwell Council’s Cabinet Member for Children and Families, said: “Whatever the weather and whatever you are interested in there are loads of great activities that your kids and young people can get into and many of them are free, so check out what’s on offer and try something new this summer.”

“We are committed to providing or facilitating  opportunities for children and young people to help improve their personal, social, emotional and physical development for them to grow well in Sandwell and achieve their full potential.”
