What is FEAST

Food. Entertainment. Arts. Sports. Together.

FEAST provides holiday activities with healthy meals to children and young people in North Yorkshire throughout the Easter, summer and Christmas holidays. Everyone from Reception to Year 11 is welcome to join in, with fully-funded places for children and young people who receive benefits-related free school meals.

FEAST is North Yorkshire’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. It is coordinated by North Yorkshire Together, who are commissioned by North Yorkshire Council through funding from the Department for Education.

FEAST partners with leading holiday playschemes, clubs and activity providers from across North Yorkshire to offer a wide range of activities. There is so much to choose from – take a look at the fantastic selection of holiday activities near you. If you need help with transport to these activities, you can request support on our transport form

Eligible families receive information about FEAST and a voucher to book their funded place via their school through an online system called HolidayActivities. If you’re registered for benefits-related Free School Meals and don’t have your voucher, please contact your school.
