February Half Term

There are plenty of family-friendly events and activities to keep everyone entertained in Bath and beyond this February half term, whatever the weather!

Family fun at Bath's acclaimed attractions

You'll find even more opportunities for kids to get crafty at No.1 Royal Crescent, where they can have fun making the craziest collage they can, and at The Holburne Museum's drop-in workshops. The Victoria Art Gallery is also sparking younger visitors' creativity with crafty activities.

Discover the quirky side of Roman life at The Roman Baths, where children can uncover facts about the civilisation that will make them laugh, cringe, and gasp as you explore the historic site. Or, jump-start your February half term at Mary Shelley's House of Frankenstein, with two themed Escape Rooms and a creepy walkthrough basement experience for those who dare! The attraction is open daily and offers great discounts for students, families and groups.

Beyond Bath

Outside the city, enjoy a fun-filled day out at Wookey Hole, where you can venture underground in the caves, watch a new film in the 4D cinema, marvel at a circus show in the theatre, challenge each other to a game of adventure golf, and savour a meal in the on-site restaurant. At the nearby Cheddar Gorge and Caves, journey back in time and learn how ancient humans created their day-to-day essentials, with fire and tool-making workshops, as well as additional activities in the on-site Museum of Prehistory.

Fancy a more hands-on caving experience? Take on the Wild Wookey challenge, or try one of Cheddar Gorge's Rocksport Adventure Activities.

Build your wackiest four-wheeled creation using LEGO bricks at Haynes Motor Museum's annual Brick Week event, and challenge each other to a race with the museum's brand new remote-control cars.

Winter Walks

There's also ample opportunity to stretch your legs in the great outdoors around Bath this half term. Take the kids to meet the resident deer herd and go nature-spotting at Dyrham Park, follow the outdoor family trails at the American Museum and Westonbirt Arboretum, or bask in a beautiful snowdrop display at The Bishop's Palace in Wells.
