Yo! Easter offers skills, sports and hobbies for everyone

The activities, which are co-funded by the Department for Education, are offered alongside a comprehensive selection of free and paid for activities which are open to everyone.

The Easter programme runs from Monday 14 April to Friday 25 April and include sports, arts and crafts, dance and drama workshops, photography, fun days and much more.

Highlights include a School of Coding, where young people can explore the world of AI, coding, and robotics, CCUE Sports, offering snooker sessions for youngsters aged between 12 and 16, and Fit Directory, providing outdoor games, treasure hunts and interactive sports, while The Way Youth Zone is calling all budding artists, and sports superstars aged eight to 12.

Wolves, which last year saw more youngsters than ever before join in with our school holiday programmes, we’re thrilled to be offering more brilliant activities organised by a host of fantastic local organisations over the Easter holidays.

“Many of these activities will continue throughtout 2025 – so it’s not just a one off experience, it’s a chance for youngsters to try something new, develop their skills and keep it up all year.“We are delighted that, by once again working with city partners and with funding from the Department for Education and the council, we can deliver another fun-packed programme with opportunities available and accessible in every area of Wolverhampton.
