The Easter holidays are here with longer days, a bit more sunshine and plenty of chocolate to keep everyone going. If you’re looking for ways to keep the kids active and entertained, our Active Lambeth centres are packed with things to do throughout the school break.
Holiday Club
Available at Brixton Recreation Centre and Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre, our Holiday Club is back, packed with activities to keep kids busy throughout the break. This Easter half term, the holiday club is open to children aged 8 and above, offering a full day of fun in a safe, active environment.
Each day is designed to be more than just childcare, it’s a mix of games, creative sessions and movement‑based activities that keep children engaged from start to finish. Kids can get involved in arts and crafts, court games and swimming (for competent swimmers), with optional add‑on activities like the climbing wall, sport simulator, bowling, karaoke, ice skating and fitness classes available for just £3 each. Add‑on activities vary by centre.
Children should come dressed in comfortable clothes and trainers so they can get stuck into everything on offer. We also ask that they bring a nut‑free packed lunch, healthy snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay fuelled throughout the day.

Active Putt & Play: mini golf inspired by Lambeth
Enjoy the brighter, drier spring days at Active Putt & Play Ferndale, Lambeth’s outdoor mini‑golf course inspired by local landmarks. Each hole features simple but creative obstacles that reflect well‑known spots across the borough, making it a fun way to get active outdoors.
The course offers a mix of easy and challenging holes, suitable for families, friends, and groups looking for an affordable activity in the fresh air. With longer sunny days ahead, it’s an ideal place to spend time outside and enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
With prices starting from £5.00, it’s an affordable way to spend time outdoors.
April’s must‑try activity: Ice Skating at Streatham Ice & Leisure Centre
Add a little magic to your Easter holidays with a trip to Streatham Ice Rink this April. It’s a welcoming space for families, with sessions open to children aged 3 and above. Younger skaters under 1.2m (with skates on) can use skate aids (available to hire in‑centre) to help them feel safe and supported on the ice.
Each session lasts 1 hour, including arrival and exit time, so you can enjoy a gentle, fun‑filled outing that fits easily into your Easter plans.
Swimming at Active Lambeth
If you’re looking for a quick, fun activity this Easter, the pool is always a winner. Our centres in Brixton, Clapham, Streatham and West Norwood offer plenty of space for both those getting their lengths in and families who just want to enjoy the water.
Children under 11 who live in Lambeth can swim for free during all general swimming sessions. To help manage pool capacity, these free swims must be booked online, and proof of Lambeth residency will be required when visiting the centre.
We also run a full programme of swimming lessons for all ages and abilities, delivered by qualified instructors who support swimmers as they build confidence and develop their skills.
Active Bowling at Brixton Rec
Brixton Recreation Centre is home to Active Bowling, a bright and modern three‑lane bowling alley that’s perfect for families, friends and anyone who loves a bit of friendly competition. The lanes are colourful, easy to use and great fun for all ages, making bowling an ideal entertainment and a day out at the centre.
Bowling is especially popular over half term, and lanes fill up fast so make sure you book your slot early.
Easter Karaoke Fun
Did you know Brixton Rec has private karaoke rooms ready for family sing‑alongs? With over 20,000 songs to choose from in multiple languages, it’s an easy way to add a bit of singing and laughter to your day. Invite your friends, book a booth and enjoy a full hour of karaoke fun.
You can even order delicious snacks and drinks from our café to enjoy during your session for full party‑mode vibes.
Interactive Multi-Sports Simulator
Located right in the heart of Brixton Recreation Centre, our multi-sport simulator adds a fresh, interactive twist to traditional sports and is a great option for burning off some Easter holiday energy.
It’s an immersive, high‑energy experience where you can jump, swing, kick or score your way through over 60 different sports and games, all using real equipment. From football and golf to target challenges and fun mini‑games, there’s something for every age and ability.
Each session lasts 45 minutes and can accommodate up to 8 players, making it ideal for families, siblings, or a group of friends looking for something a bit different. It’s suitable for children aged 7+, and anyone under 14 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
