Holiday programmes for all

There will be a variety of fun holiday programmes on offer this December and January in Cape Town, hosted by the City’s Libraries and Information Services and Recreation and Parks Departments.

“The summer school holiday is probably the most anticipated break for our children. They’ve worked hard all year and our programmes are designed to reward them with fun and safe recreation.” Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Patricia van der Ross said in a statement.

“They have a legion of activities to choose from that will keep their minds and bodies active. We have hundreds of programmes planned for the next few weeks that will help them stave off boredom” she added.

This year’s holiday programmes will kick off from Thursday, 12 December 2024 until Tuesday, 14 January 2025 at various libraries, community centres, recreation facilities, sports grounds, play parks, green spaces and other public facilities in Cape Town.
