Barnet's Half-Term Holidays Programme!
With the half-term holiday's fast approaching (Monday 17th February - Friday 21st February), it’s time to start thinking about fun things to do!
At Better, we have a wide range of activities available at all five of our leisure centres in Barnet to keep kids active and healthy during the half-term holidays. It’s the perfect place for children to try something new, be active, make new friends and have a lot of fun!
See below a list of activities available week commencing Monday 17th February 2025.
Being active is easy, fun and social. It can lift a young person's mood, keep their heart healthy, and give them an opportunity to meet new friends. Through the FREE Fit and Active Barnet (FAB) card, juniors can have access to a range of physical activity opportunities, including 50% off leisure-based activities and FREE swimming for under 8s (Mon – Fri).
