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.
9. Willen Lake, Milton Keynes
Willen Lake can be a free day out or a cheaper option. A bike ride, walk and a play in the park, could keep the kids happy for the morning. There are also other activities on site, such as a tree top adventure and water sports. Photo: Parks Trust
10. Gulliver's Land, Milton Keynes
Gulliver's Land might be more of a treat, but Bing and Flop will be making appearances on the week beginning February 19 so if your little ones love those characters it could be a good week to visit. Early season day tickets start from £15. Photo: Gulliver's Land
