Local free community events
Most read in Lifestyle
Take a look at the events page at your community centre. Many host free events including arts and crafts, baking or sport events over half-term.
Libraries could also be an option – memberships are free and they may host family-friendly reading afternoons that not only keep little ones entertained, but encourage learning too.
Explore your local museum for free
Not all museums require a paid ticket, and those that do often host half-term offers where children go free.
Many museums also throw school holiday events to keep kids entertained for longer, too.
Join the national trust for under £7
Kids under 5 get to enjoy the national trust for free but they also offer a £10 junior membership for children with an interest in wildlife, history and culture.
Alternatively, a family ticket can be purchased for £83.40 a year or £6.95 a month.
