Karen Edmond, Cornwall Community Sport Manager, said:

“We know how expensive it can be to keep children active, motivated and happy during the school holidays and our team has worked hard to put programmes in place that don’t cost the earth.”

She added that prices vary by centre and activity, and online booking is highly recommended.
“Visit individual websites to see what’s available,” she said.

Perfect for a rainy afternoon or when beach plans are rained off, these options offer a budget-friendly alternative that still keeps the kids active and engaged.
