Families across Newport are being encouraged to make the most of the Easter holidays with a packed programme of activities on offer at Newport Live venues.
With a wide range of options available, the programme promises something for all ages, from sport and creative workshops to live entertainment and affordable days out.
Those looking to stay active can take part in intensive swimming lessons, family bike rides and football sessions. There are also free welly walks at Rogerstone Welfare Ground and Tredegar House, alongside free swimming opportunities and a Girls Takeover programme for ages 8–18, designed to create fun and inclusive spaces to build confidence and stay active.
Creative activities are also on offer, with families able to enjoy crafts including Chalk and Lego Printmaking at The Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre. A free Creepy Crawlies Art Trail is also running until Saturday 11 April, offering a self-guided experience that blends creativity and discovery for children aged four to eleven.
Entertainment is a key part of the Easter programme, with cinema screenings available for just £3.50, featuring ‘GOAT’ and ‘The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’.
There will also be a variety of live shows taking place across the holidays, including ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’, ‘Sweet & Sour: The Ultimate Tribute to Sabrina & Olivia’, ‘Fun For Little Ones – A Tribute to Ms Rachel’ and ‘The Utterly Revolting Science Show.’
All activities will take place across Newport Live venues, giving families plenty of opportunities to get involved, try something new and spend quality time together over the Easter break.
People are being encouraged to book early to avoid missing out, particularly ahead of a planned price increase to Newport Live fees and charges from 1 April 2026. Those who book before this date can secure 2025/2026 Easter holiday activity prices.
Newport Live said the programme aims to offer an exciting, accessible and family-friendly experience for everyone this Easter.
