The Greatest Art Camp in the known and unknown Universe
Our primary focus is creativity and inspiring children to enjoy the arts.
Creative School Holiday Clubs and After-School Clubs in Leeds
Art Camp UK provides exciting, artist-led school holiday clubs and after-school clubs for children aged 5–12 across Leeds, with more locations coming soon in Harrogate.
Our aim is simple: to give children the most creative, energetic and enjoyable day possible. Every Art Camp combines art, music, performance, outdoor play and imaginative projects in a safe, welcoming and supportive environment.
October Half-Term 2026 at Bracken Edge
Art Camp is returning to Bracken Edge Primary School, Leeds LS7 4HE, for an unforgettable October half-term holiday club.
Bracken Edge is a wonderful and inspiring Art Camp setting, with generous creative spaces, outdoor areas and our much-loved resident goats and chickens. Children will be supported by the brilliant Art Camp team while enjoying a varied programme of hands-on creative activities, group projects, games and outdoor experiences.
Children do not need to attend Bracken Edge Primary School to book. Our Leeds holiday club is open to families from Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Meanwood, Moortown, Alwoodley, Horsforth, LS7, LS8, LS17 and the wider Leeds area.
October places are limited, and booking is now open.

A New Harrogate Holiday Club Is Coming
We are working towards opening another Art Camp holiday club in Harrogate, alongside new creative after-school opportunities.
We cannot reveal the venue just yet, but more information will be announced soon. Families looking for a Harrogate holiday club, creative childcare or SEND-aware school holiday provision can follow Art Camp UK or contact us to hear when bookings open.
We accept Tax-Free Childcare and Childcare Vouchers.
SEND-Aware and Inclusive Holiday Clubs
Art Camp welcomes children with a wide range of personalities, learning styles and additional needs. We aim to provide inclusive, SEND-aware holiday childcare in Leeds, with clear routines, experienced staff and a supportive approach that helps children feel safe, understood and able to take part.
Parents and carers should tell us about any SEN, SEND, autism, ADHD, medical, allergy, communication, sensory or accessibility needs when booking. This allows us to consider the support your child may need and discuss any reasonable adjustments before their first day.
Where a child requires dedicated one-to-one care or specialist support, please contact us before booking so we can decide together whether suitable staffing can be arranged. Providing information in advance helps us offer the safest and most positive experience possible.

What parents say
Art Camp provides structured creative workshops and activity-based programmes led by specialist instructors for children.
More than just a kids holiday camp!
My kids had more fun at this camp than any other in Leeds! This is the cool club for kids that love music and dance, and also art and film making. I would totally recommend this school holiday camp in Leeds, Harrogate and York.
