Winter HAF 2026 – Bookings Open 2nd November at 12pm!
Bookings for Devon’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme open at 12pm on Monday 2nd November!
Bookings can be made on the EEQU website: Eequ · After school. In place of school. Beyond school.
Eligible children can access free activities and a nutritious meal over the Christmas holidays, with opportunities available at more than 100 venues across Devon.
Popular favourites include: sports, creative activities, swimming, outdoor adventures and specialist SEND provision. Families can also enjoy a range of festive opportunities, including pantomime tickets, seasonal hampers and Christmas-themed trips and activities.
Important eligibility update
The Government has recently changed the criteria for Free School Meals eligibility. To support families affected by these changes, Devon HAF will temporarily extend eligibility for Winter 2026. If your child has previously been eligible for HAF but no longer meets the new criteria solely because of these changes, they may still be able to access funded Winter HAF places.
We hope this measure will support families who might otherwise miss out while we await any wider changes to national eligibility criteria that may be introduced for 2027.
