It’s flown by, but the first weeks of the academic year are behind us and it’s time for a break.
Half term for school children in Sheffield starts after clases today (October 25) and lasts a week before they go back on November 4.
The week off times nicely with Halloween as well, meaning there are lots of spooky themed events in and around Sheffield to enjoy as a family, or at least distract the little ones for a few hours.
If you’re looking for a day out this half term, here are 11 events and ideas to get you started, from pumpkin picking at Graves Park Animal Farm to brewing potions at Creative Kids Town, from a ‘pup-up cafe’ with Daschunds to handling reptiles over a cup of tea.
