2025 Positive Activities October Half Term

BOOKINGS OPEN FRIDAY 10 OCTOBER AT 6PM

October Half-Term Adventures

A week of creativity, culture, and seasonal fun

Join us this October Half-Term for a vibrant programme of workshops, games, and themed events celebrating both Halloween and Black History Month. Children will enjoy a mix of activities —designed to spark imagination, build friendships, and explore culture and history in fun and meaningful ways.

Important Information:

  • Registration is required for all activities.
  • You will receive a confirmation email if your child has been allocated a place.
  • Waiting lists are available for some sessions. Places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • For popular activities, places may be manually allocated, with priority given to vulnerable children and those known to social care.
  • Please check your dashboard for updates and confirmations.
  • Only attend if you have received a confirmation email—unconfirmed attendees will be turned away.

Let’s make this half-term one to remember!

To ensure fair access for all, children may attend ONE activity per day. This helps us offer more children the opportunity to enjoy a Barnet Youth activity during the half-term.
