Starting next week, the Liverpool Plains Shire Council (LPSC) has an array of activities and workshops lined up, including dance, tennis and art sessions.
However, Gunnedah's Civic Centre has decided to hold off on the usual school holiday program again.
In collaboration with Encore Dance Studio, free dance lessons will be held in conjunction with LPSC, headed up by dance instructor Erica Lawrence.
During the school holidays LPSC is pleased to be offering these art classes as well as free tennis clinics and dance classes for the young people of the Liverpool Plains.

The lessons will be held at the Quirindi Pavilion on 50 Henry Street and are split into three age groups with separate time sessions.

"LPSC is pleased to be able to offer these free classes. Children benefit from dance classes through improved physical health," she said.
