*Free Swimming Sessions and Halloween Trail to Keep Children Entertained During School Break*
Ashington Town Council is delighted to announce a fantastic programme of free activities for families during the October half term holiday, ensuring children and parents have plenty to enjoy without breaking the bank.
*Free Swimming Sessions*
The Town Council is offering complimentary swimming sessions at Ashington leisure centre, providing families with a healthy and fun activity during the school break. The free swim sessions will take place on:
• Wednesday, 29th October at 1:00 PM
• Saturday, 1st November at 1:00 PM
These sessions are perfect for families looking for an active way to spend time together during the holidays. No booking is required – simply turn up and enjoy! (up to 80 places available, on a first come, first served basis)
*Halloween Trail Adventure*
Adding to the half term excitement, Ashington’s High Street will come alive with a special Halloween Trail running from Monday, 27th October to Friday, 31st October that promises treats and thrills for children of all ages. This community-wide initiative sees many local shops participating in creating a memorable Halloween experience for young visitors.
Children can collect trail cards from participating shops along the High Street. Visit each participating shop to get your card stamped and pick up a treat.
The Halloween Trail encourages families to explore Ashington’s vibrant High Street while supporting local businesses. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the spooky season in a safe, family-friendly environment.
*Community Spirit*
“We’re thrilled to offer these free activities during October half term,” said Cllr Caroline Ball, Chair of the Youth Advisory Committee for Ashington Town Council. “Both the free swimming sessions and Halloween Trail demonstrate our commitment to providing accessible, enjoyable activities for all families in our community. We want to ensure every child has the opportunity to make wonderful memories during their school break.”
The Halloween Trail particularly showcases the strong partnership between the Town Council and local businesses, creating a collaborative effort that benefits both families and the local economy.
*Get Involved*
Full details of both activities, including participating shops for the Halloween Trail, are available on the Ashington Town Council events page. Families are encouraged to take advantage of both offerings to make the most of the October half term break.
