Manchester Libraries are excited to announce the following free Holiday Activity and Food fund sessions this Easter! All these sessions are fun and interactive and were very popular when run last year. The sessions are aimed at 10 to 16 year olds. A free lunch is provided to every young person attending the activities.  

The sessions are for children who are eligible for free school meals.  If there are any places available, they will be made available for all children to book 48 hours before each session. 

Places are limited, so you need to book in advance.

To book a place on any of the events go to the MCRActive website and search by Provider, typing “Manchester Libraries”. Alternatively, contact the library that is running the session by phone, email or coming into the library in person.  

Join us for fun and a free lunch!
