The Get Activ8d programme includes basketball, tennis, football, golf, climbing and gymnastics at venues around east Hampshire. Sessions cost £4 to £6.

The rural play project is aimed at four to 11-year-olds with under-fours able to attend for free and play with toys. Sessions start from £4.

Venues include Horndean, Rowlands Castle, Clanfield, Chalton and Lovedean. Visit easthants.gov.uk/rapp-and-get-activ8d.
