MedwayGo provides holiday activities for children aged between 5 and 16 years old. Children can attend activities such as arts and crafts, football, swimming, trampolining, dance and more for free over the Summer holidays in Medway. Children will have access to a range of activities as well as receiving a hot, healthy meal each day.


MedwayGo activities are free for children on benefit related free school meals. There are also a small number of places available for free for children that are in care, from military families or children with SEND. There are paid places on many activities too!


MedwayGo is offering Summer Provision between Monday, 28 July – Friday, 22 August. Each club offers different fun activities, and families can view and book these activities at go.medway.gov.uk/book/ from Monday, 30 June 2025.


No need to register! Bookings open from Mondy 30th June 2025.

MedwayGo will be using a booking system, called Eequ. Eequ allows families to book activities, without the hassle of registering first. Parents and Carers can reserve spaces whilst their eligibility is checked, which means you will not miss out on spaces whilst those checks are taking place. Once a space is reserved, if eligibility is confirmed, the booking will be approved.

Please visit the MedwayGo website https://go.medway.gov.uk/book/ to explore the Summer activities. You can register your interest, before bookings open.


MedwayGo can be accessed by everyone. If you are unsure, if you are eligible, please email go@medway.gov.uk.


If you have any enquiries about the MedwayGo Summer programme, please email go@medway.gov.uk and we will be happy to help.

We look forward to seeing you at the MedwayGo provision.


Kind regards,
