Warrington half-term: dates and where to find activity information
The council’s recommended calendar closes for the break on 23 October, but families should check their own school’s dates.
Warrington’s recommended 2026–27 school calendar gives Friday 23 October as the end of the first autumn half-term and Monday 2 November as the start of the next. The council says some voluntary-aided schools and academies may differ, so check your school’s own website before making plans.
For activities, the council’s booking-information page describes a small October programme for children receiving Targeted or Expanded free school meals. It says this October provision is separate from the Holiday Activities and Food programme, whose next main programme is winter 2026–27.
The council page links to its activity collection. Check the individual listing for eligibility, session details and booking availability: this guide has not confirmed remaining places. The school-date page also links to the borough’s primary and secondary school directories.
This is a practical guide checked on 22 October, using existing council information rather than a newly announced change to school dates.
Where this report comes from.
Opened both council pages on 22 October 2026. They display 21 and 22 September respectively without identifying publication versus update, so those dates are not entered as publication timestamps. This is older information relevant to the forthcoming break. Individual school calendars, eligibility decisions and remaining activity places have not been independently checked.
