Free February Fun with Urban Games
Half-term this February (17-23) will be packed with free sports and activities, as Telford & Wrekin Council hosts its Urban Games programme at venues across the borough with help from professional coaches.
There is no need to book, all sessions are completely free to attend and children up to the age of 16 (even babies and toddlers) can find something to keep them entertained.
The activities encourage healthy, active lifestyles while providing a safe environment for young people to try something new. Parents can rest easy knowing that all activities are supervised and are also kind on the pocket too with no charge.
The standout attraction of February’s Urban Games is the launch of Sky Reach in Telford Town Park where the climbing wall will be open along with free fall experiences.
Looking for even more activity? Multi-sport sessions including football and basketball, dodgeball and badminton will be going on in the playgrounds at the town park too.
For younger children, the outdoor ‘Wild Telford’ sessions are nature-themed activities, including trails, bug and treasure hunts that are guided by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust in nature reserves across Telford.
A mix of traditional and new activities are available – like quidditch, the magical Harry Potter-inspired game or even WWE World Wrestling Entertainment.
For those who prefer traditional sports, there’s table tennis, football, hockey, and netball with professional coaches from AFC Telford United Foundation, Shropshire Cricket, Telford & Wrekin Hockey Club, Telford Netball Club, 4 All Foundation and Telford Bike Hub leading the sessions to ensure high-quality instruction and plenty of fun for all.
