Join the Nature and Wellbeing Holiday Activities and Food Programme in Banbury for six days of fun, learning, outdoor activities, and opportunities for children to make new friends during the December school holidays.
Organised through the Education & Welfare Centre, the programme combines creative activities, sports, outdoor adventures, healthy living, and social interaction in a supportive environment. Places are free for eligible families receiving Universal Credit, while paid places are also available.
You can also explore more community events and activities in Banbury organised throughout the year.
The Nature and Wellbeing programme will run across six days during the December school holidays:
Families are encouraged to book early because places are limited.
The Holiday Activities and Food Programme is designed to give children an enjoyable and active experience during the school holidays.
The Nature and Wellbeing programme brings together different types of activities so children can have fun while developing confidence, creativity, social skills, and an interest in healthy and active living.
The six-day programme also gives children opportunities to spend time with others, experience new activities, and create positive holiday memories in a structured setting.
Banbury Madni Masjid and its Education & Welfare Centre support a range of local educational and community initiatives. You can learn more about the wider work of Banbury Madni Masjid Centre and its community programmes.
The programme promotes a varied mix of activities designed to keep children engaged throughout the holiday period.
Activities highlighted on the event poster include:
This variety gives children the opportunity to enjoy both active and creative experiences rather than focusing on one type of activity.
Outdoor experiences are an important part of the Nature and Wellbeing programme.
Activities such as trips, adventures, and rock climbing can give children opportunities to explore new environments, try different experiences, and develop confidence through participation.
Cinema trips are also listed as part of the programme, providing additional variety across the six days.
Arts and crafts give children an opportunity to express their creativity and enjoy practical activities, while sports and games encourage movement, teamwork, and participation.
By combining creative and physical activities, the programme aims to provide something enjoyable for children with different interests.
The programme also highlights cooking and healthy living, helping children engage with food and wellbeing in an enjoyable and age-appropriate way.
These activities complement the wider focus on nature and wellbeing and help make the holiday programme both entertaining and educational.
Holiday programmes can also provide valuable opportunities for children to meet others outside their usual school routine.
Group activities, games, trips, and shared experiences can encourage communication, teamwork, participation, and confidence. The programme therefore focuses not only on keeping children active but also on creating positive social experiences.
The poster confirms that places are free for eligible families receiving Universal Credit.
Families should use the booking link provided through their school to access the programme. Paid places are also available for families who are not accessing a funded place.
Because spaces are limited, parents and carers are encouraged to complete the booking process as early as possible.
The Nature and Wellbeing Holiday Activities and Food Programme provides local children with six days of activities during the December school holidays.
Alongside this programme, Banbury Madni Masjid regularly organises educational, social, wellbeing, and family-focused initiatives. Visit the Banbury Madni Masjid events page to discover other upcoming activities in the local community.
