FEAST brings the fun to the school holidays, offering loads of different activities for everyone to take part in.
All children and young people across North Yorkshire can get involved in a range of activities, with free places and a free meal for eligible children and young people, thanks to funding from the Department for Education.
If your child is eligible for benefits-related Free School Meals or is made eligible by exception (see the website FAQs for details), you will receive a voucher from their school. This will enable you to book school holiday activities that are part of the FEAST programme for free, using the online platform HolidayActivities.
To see all the fantastic activities on offer and learn more about how to claim a free place, visit the FEAST website.

FEAST Vouchers

Schools in North Yorkshire issue vouchers to parents/carers whose children are eligible, so that they can book free places at FEAST – the DfE-funded Holiday Activities and Food programme for North Yorkshire.
The vouchers will be sent via HolidayActivities, the online platform that sits on school software Wonde. Schools can identify eligible families in the platform and notify them automatically that their voucher is ready to use. Parents can then log in to HolidayActivities to book their free places and manage their booking.
