Come and join us for a creative holiday session with Arts Outburst. 

Bookings open from FRIDAY 14th NOVEMBER 2025.

We are working with Active Essex, Essex County Council and Thurrock Council to deliver Essex ActivAte clubs, on behalf of the Department for Education. The clubs are FREE for children and young people who are eligible for benefits based free school meals and limited spaces are offered for children from low income working families.

Our holiday clubs are inclusive for all Primary & Secondary Pupils, and all attending children and young people will receive a tasty and nutritious meal each day that they attend.
We provide a unique variety of physical and enrichment activities, we love music, dance fitness & drama, games & arts and crafts – building skills and confidence.

Sessions are offered for all children with a WONDE code including SEND Level 1.

All Essex ActivAte clubs are FREE for Children and Young People eligible for benefits based free school meals.
