Summer Holiday Activities in Hebburn

The school holidays can be a long stretch to fill, but Hebburn has plenty to keep children busy without breaking the bank. Between the Family Hub, the leisure centre, holiday clubs and the town's green space, there is a good mix of organised activities and free days out. Here is a guide to summer holiday activities in Hebburn, though it is always worth checking the latest programmes, as holiday schedules change each year.

Hebburn Family Hub

The Hebburn Family Hub on Campbell Park Road, run by South Tyneside Council, is the first place to look. It runs activities and programmes for families with children and young people from birth up to age 19, and up to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities, with a particular focus on the early years. During the school holidays it is well worth checking what sessions and events the hub and the wider South Tyneside Family Hubs are running, as many are free.

Hebburn Central and holiday clubs

Hebburn Central on Glen Street is a reliable holiday standby, with two swimming pools, a soft-play area and a gym, ideal for burning off energy on a wet day. Sports and activity holiday clubs also run locally over the summer, giving working parents a full day's childcare with plenty of activity built in. Check with the leisure centre and local providers for their holiday programmes and booking.

Free days out

Some of the best holiday activities cost nothing. The parks and riverside are perfect for burning off energy: Hebburn Riverside Park has open space and river views, while Carr-Ellison Park has its historic ponds and play areas, as covered in our guide to free things to do in Hebburn. And with the Metro on the doorstep, a day at the coast or a museum in Newcastle is easy and affordable, as our days out by Metro guide explains.
