Plan the whole break

Planning the school holidays in Sydney

Tell us the days you need covered, the hours, how far you can go and who is coming. We lay out the whole break across every program here, with the kids together where it can be done, and book it in one go. Where nothing fits a day, we say why and what would change that.

Most holiday programs run as dated blocks: a single day, or a Monday to Friday week, each booked on its own, with its hours and its price per child. The plan shows what each block covers, so a week booked for two days reads as what it is.

Parents ask

School holidays in Sydney: your questions

When are the summer school holidays in NSW?

The NSW summer school holidays run from Friday 18 December 2026 to Wednesday 27 January 2027, by the Department of Education's calendar for public schools. Independent and Catholic schools often break a few days earlier or later, so check your own school's dates. The break after that, the autumn holidays, runs from Monday 12 April 2027 to Friday 23 April 2027.

What kinds of holiday programs are on in Sydney?

77 programs are listed for the summer holidays: sports (33), music & dancing (11), arts & crafts (10), drama (7) and more. Each listing shows its own dates, hours, ages and prices. Browse all 77 →

Are there free school holiday activities in Sydney?

Not in this break so far. Councils and libraries often add free sessions close to the holidays, so it is worth checking back.

Can I use a NSW Active and Creative Kids voucher?

1 of the programs listed takes Active and Creative Kids vouchers. The program page says so, and each voucher comes off its child's share of the price when you book on EventCub.

What ages are holiday programs for?

Programs in these holidays cover ages 3 to 20. Every listing shows its own age range, and the age filter on the feed narrows the list to your child.

How do I book a holiday program?

Pick a program, choose its dates and book on EventCub. Some providers take bookings on their own website or by phone instead, and the program page says which.

Run holiday programs?

List them on EventCub and reach parents across Sydney.
