Holiday Clubs at Trafford Circuit
Every summer our churches turn into places of organised chaos (the fun kind). We run holiday clubs for primary-age children at three sites across Trafford – Timperley in South Trafford, The Avenue in Sale, and Cornerstone in Urmston – giving kids a chance to play, create, make friends and explore big ideas in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Each club has its own theme, but they all have the same heart: high-energy games, crafts that might just involve glitter, drama and stories, music, and moments of calm in between. You don’t have to be a church family to join in – everyone is welcome, and we work hard to make sure every child feels safe, included and valued.
Scroll down to find out what’s happening this year at Timperley, The Avenue and Cornerstone, and how to book a place.
Week A: South Trafford
Timperley Methodist Church, Stockport Road, WA15 7UG
Monday 27th - Friday 31st July 2026
Heroes in Training is a holiday club for kids who’ve ever tied a tea towel round their shoulders and jumped off the sofa.
We’ll spend the week on messy missions, ridiculous challenges, crafts, games and drama as we figure out what real heroes look like in everyday life. Spoiler: it’s less flying and laser eyes, more courage, kindness, standing up for people and working as a team.
There’s plenty of noise, creativity and chances to burn off energy, plus some space to think about the kind of world we want to build together.
Week B: Sale
The Avenue Methodist Church, Wincham Rd, Sale M33 4PL
Monday 17th - Friday 21st August 2026
Star Chasers is our space-themed holiday club for kids who love stories, silliness and anything to do with rockets and stars. For a whole week the hall will turn into mission control as we play fast, daft games, make brilliantly wonky space crafts, act out mini-adventures and sing the kind of songs that get stuck in your head on the drive home.
In the middle of all the fun there’ll be time to chill, make new friends and think about some of the “big” stuff too – what makes each of us special, how we can look out for each other, and what it means to shine in our own little corner of the world. You don’t need to know anything about church to come; if your child likes space, glitter or just having a laugh, they’ll fit right in.
Week C: Stretford and Urmston
Cornerstone Methodist Church, Hayeswater Rd, Urmston, Manchester M41 7PL
Wednesday 26th - Friday 28th August 2026
At Cornerstone we’ll be running a shorter “Heroes in Training” mini club – a condensed version of our full holiday club, with all the best bits squeezed into fewer days. Children will still get the chance to dive into games, crafts, drama and challenges, and to think about what real heroism looks like in everyday life (kindness, courage, looking out for others), just in a shorter format that fits the week. It’s ideal for children who can’t make a full five-day club, or for anyone who wants one last burst of holiday fun before term-time brain kicks back in. Same energy, same welcome, slightly less exhaustion.
How to Book
Our popular clubs have limited places and you will need to book and pay in advance to secure your child's space. Booking just requires filling in an online form, and paying by bank transfer when you receive and invoice. Payment must be made at least two weeks in advance of the club.
Watch this space where we will be releasing more details soon.
