Our Children’s Services team is arranging some activities for children and young people over the summer break, starting in the week commencing 4 August 2025.
You can find a list of these activities, when they are taking place, who they are being led by, how much they cost and which age groups they are open to in the table below. Please note that spaces are limited for these sessions, so booking is required.
We’re still working on finalising some of the details of sessions being planned for later in August, so we’ll be updating this news item as new dates are added. Please keep checking back to see what’s on and we’ll do our best to alert you to any changes via our Council of the Isles of Scilly and Children’s Services Facebook accounts and our Council news email subscription service.
How to book a place on a Children’s Services summer activity session

The Council wishes to encourage children living on the off-islands to join us on St Mary’s for our Children’s Services summer activities. We will therefore cover the cost of a ticket on the relevant scheduled boat service if this is requested at the time of booking.
