Book your place

Bookings for Easter activities opened on Monday, 17 March. The council's approved holiday clubs are listed on an external booking system, called Eequ and is also where you can book places. You will need to register an account to book. View Eequ’s Privacy Statement. Further support can be requested at hello@eequ.org

All Nottinghamshire approved programmes will state 'Funded by Nottinghamshire County Council' in orange text on the listing. Any listings that do not have the orange ‘Funded by Nottinghamshire County Council’ are not associated with the HAF Nottinghamshire programme and checks should be made before booking with other holiday clubs.

See a video showing how the Eequ system works on a mobile phone or tablet, or on a desktop/laptop.
