February Half-Term Camps & Workshops 2025
Almost half-term already… how did that happen?! If you’re looking for ways to entertain the kids, we’ve pulled together a summary of holiday camps that are going on in the area, including drop-off camps and workshops which range from a few hours to a full day. We’re still in the process of adding things as and when we hear about them, so if you know of any more please do get in touch and let us know. You can also check out things to do in our Event Calendar.
