Things have been a little weird of late but now that stuff is starting to function a little more – in our new “normal” i thought it was about time to put together a guide to help people plan.
Please be aware that a lot of places are pre book only and that obviously they’re subject to changes if there are changes to local restrictions. Please also note that many other places are open these are just places with special events for Halloween and Half Term. Not everything is on daily and I would book early as well to avoid missing out, click on the links to find out more.
Its a bit quiet this October half term for obvious reasons….if you were looking for some more general inspiration for things to do here are some previous info i have shared 🙂
