Fun doesn't have to be expensive: Free activities for October half term

Lets see what the weather is doing over half term next week.

Newcastle schools are set to break up today (October 22nd) for October half-term.

Half-term is an entire week off school for kids, and for parents it’s an entire week of finding things for the kids to do.

Having nice weather, and some place for the kids to go run outside can be budget friendly, a quick fix when they ask for screens and a great way to tire them out.
