22 October 2024
The days may be getting shorter and the weather more unpredictable, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on fun this Half Term. Whether you're planning a day out in London, some outdoor adventures, or a relaxing getaway while the grandparents take care of the kids, we've got a wide range of experiences and short breaks to make your Autumn Half Term extra special.
With activities available from Scotland to Cornwall, there's no region we don't cover. Use our convenient region filter to find the perfect experience near you. If you're unsure where to begin, here are some of our top recommendations for activities and short breaks to try this Half Term.
- London Experience Days
If food is more your family's passion, why not indulge in a Kid's Sushi Masterclass at Inamo? If you have a budding young chef who loves to experiment in the kitchen, this hands on experience with sushi masters will teach them how to craft perfect maki rolls.
And for a family friendly adventure, explore another London icon with a Paddington Bear Walking Tour. With adult and child tickets available, this two hour tour takes you through Paddington’s favourite spots around the city, showcasing filming locations and fascinating facts along the way.
- Outdoor Activities for the Autumn season
For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, we have plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. Discover the fascinating world of ferrets with our Forest Lodge Animal Encounter in Essex, where children as young as 2 can hold these adorable creatures and learn all about them. This meet and greet also includes entry to the mini zoo, where you can explore a variety of rescued animals. For a similar experience, check out the Tamarin Monkey Encounter at the same Essex location. Kids can interact with these tiny monkeys at the indoor petting zoo—a must for any young animal enthusiast!
If your family prefers an outdoor adventure, don’t miss our Archery Lesson for Two. This thrilling experience is perfect for both adults and children, with expert instructors guiding you as you aim for the bullseye. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, this activity is a fun and engaging way to spend time together and sharpen your skills this Half Term.
- Short Breaks Away for Parents and Teachers
If you're lucky enough to have the grandparents watching the kids for a few days, or if you're a teacher looking to unwind after a busy term, why not treat yourself to one of our relaxing short breaks? Our Two Night Glamping Escape in rural Norfolk offers the perfect way to recharge in nature while enjoying all the comforts of modern amenities. In a peaceful, child free setting, this getaway is ideal for parents in need of some quiet time.
If a full break isn’t possible but you have a few kid free hours, indulge in a Spa Day with Lunch. Relax and rejuvenate with a treatment like the Monu Swedish Body Massage, enjoy a delicious meal, and take a break from the hustle and bustle before heading back to family life.
At Experiences UK, you’ll find all kinds of activities to get stuck into this Autumn - so get ready for a half term full of fun and relaxation.
