Overview: Holiday Clubs at Herne Hill Velodrome are designed to enable young people of all abilities to develop their skills at their own pace, have fun and make friends during the holidays, and have an exciting and engaging active day. These holiday clubs are suitable for children of varying skill levels. If you haven't ridden on the track before, our experienced coaches can get you started with a taster session at the beginning of the day.
**NB February sessions are weather-dependent and potentially subject to cancellation. We will have indoor activities available for short periods but in the event of extreme cold, rain, snow, ice etc, we will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible by email of any cancellation and will move entries into the next available holiday club

Check the weather!
Gloves: Required. Available to borrow if needed.
Helmets: Required. Available to borrow if needed.
Bikes: Track Bikes only. Hire bikes are available and included in the cost. Trainers are fine to use with these. If you are an experienced cyclist and use a cleat-based foot retention system, you can use this on our bikes, but you will need to bring your own pedals and tools to swap pedals over.
Please arrive 15 minutes before the session start time to get a bike and get comfortable to ensure that the session can start promptly. If you remember which bike you used before, you’re welcome to head to the containers and collect it yourself - this speeds everything up!
Location:
Meeting Point: Please wait outside the track fence by the seating: your coach will invite you to cross the track when they are ready.
