Family Fridays at Earls Gymnastics

Looking for family fun days near you this school holiday? Family Fridays at Earl's Gymnastics are open play sessions designed to bring families together through movement, laughter, and plenty of activity. Based at our Oldbury gymnastics venue, our facility transforms into a family fun zone every Friday during the February Half Term, Summer Holidays, and October Half Term, giving children aged 5 to 11 and their families a brilliant way to make the most of the break.

Whether you're searching for summer holiday activities for kids, half-term ideas, or simply a fun day out in the West Midlands, Family Fridays offer something for every child and every family.

Fun for the Whole Family, Every School Holiday

Family Fridays are relaxed, informal sessions where children and parents can enjoy the day together at their own pace. There are no structured lessons, no pressure, and no experience required. Just good fun in a safe, welcoming environment with qualified coaches on hand throughout.

Sessions run every Friday during the February Half Term, Summer Holidays, and October Half Term. Adults attend completely free of charge and are welcome to join in, cheer from the sidelines, or simply take a moment to relax while the children explore everything on offer.

Session Times and Prices

We offer two session options to suit your family's plans. Our full session runs from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM and is priced at £10 per child, giving you a full two hours to enjoy everything on offer. If you're looking for a shorter visit, our one-hour session runs from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM and is priced at £5 per child.

Adults attend free of charge for both sessions. All adults must remain with their children for the full duration of the session.

What's On at Family Fridays?

Our Oldbury gymnastics facility is set up with a range of activity zones to keep every child engaged from the moment they arrive. Here's what's waiting for your family:

Inflatable Fun Zone

Take on our giant inflatable slide and enjoy plenty of bouncing, climbing, and high-energy fun. This is always a firm favourite and keeps children moving throughout the session.

Mini Games Corner

A rotating selection of classic games, including bowling, bean bag toss, and ring toss. Activities change across the holidays, so there's always something new to try, even if your family has joined us before.

Racket Sports

Soft badminton and balloon tennis give families the chance to enjoy friendly competition together. Easy to pick up and great fun for all ages within the 5 to 11 range.

Gymnastics Zone

One of the highlights of Family Fridays is our gymnastics zone, which gives children the chance to explore vaults, beams, soft blocks, and our track area. Our qualified coaches are always on hand to supervise, offer encouragement, and make sure every child feels confident using the equipment safely. No gymnastics experience is needed.

Ball and Social Games

From basketball hoops to target games and softball activities, this zone gets everyone moving and working together. A great way to encourage teamwork and keep the energy up across the session.

Chill and Craft Corner

Every family needs a moment to recharge. Our quieter space offers colouring activities, Lego building, and board games for children who want to wind down between activities, without missing out on the fun.

Snack and Seating Area

Grab a seat, catch your breath, and enjoy a chat with our team while the children carry on exploring. A relaxed spot for parents to take a breather during what tends to be a very busy two hours.

Safe, Supervised, and Built for Families

Every Family Friday session is run by our qualified gymnastics coaches, who are present throughout to supervise activities, engage with families, and make sure the environment stays safe and enjoyable for everyone. These sessions are designed as informal play experiences rather than structured classes, so children are free to move between zones, try new things, and simply have fun.

Parents and guardians are required to stay with their children for the full duration of the session, making Family Fridays a true family activity rather than a drop-off arrangement. It's a chance to be part of the fun, not just watch from the car park.
