Half term for Northamptonshire children takes place on the week beginning February 19.
However, many kids in neighbouring counties will return to school on February 19 after being off on the week beginning February 12.
Subsequently, this means family attractions and activities in place like Buckinghamshire and Warwickshire, will all be quieter next week. And they are all not too far away from Northamptonshire, if you want to take your kids somewhere that might not be quite as rammed.
If you’re not keen on travelling, here is a round-up of activities on in Northamptonshire during half term.
If you are happy to travel… below is a list of family activities and attractions in neighbouring counties, which might be quieter during Northamptonshire’s half term.
