Plan ahead for February and keep kids – and big kids – entertained with this selection of activities:

Nottingham Giant Wheel: With the Wheel of Nottingham returning to the city from 28 January until 12 March 2017, there’s plenty of opportunity to enjoy the panoramic views offered during the ride.

A stay at the nearby Milestone Caravan Club site costs from £21.40 per night based on two adults and two children.
Southbank Centre’s Imagine Children’s Festival: From 9-19 February 2017 London’s Royal Festival Hall will be dedicated to delighting children of all ages with their action-packed programme of creative events. From a free pedal-powered screening of The Little Mermaid and LEGO-inspired events, to Team GB Olympic hero Chris Hoy’s book reading, and even a family clubbing experience, there’s something for every interest. A stay at Crystal Palace Caravan Club site costs from £22.80 per night based on two adults and two children.
Lions, tigers and bears in Kent: Visit Howletts Wild Animal Park which is home to the UK’s largest herd of African elephants and also see the first baby black rhino to be born at the park. A stay at Black Horse Farm site is from £18.30 per night based on two adults and two children.
Magic in Lancashire: On 23 February 2017 enjoy a magical day out with the East Lancashire Railway.
