Creative Ways to Keep the Kids Entertained This Half Term

Want to make this May half term truly unforgettable for all the right reasons? Check out these family-friendly ideas and then head to Hurley’s to get kitted out for a break to remember.

Chill With a Day at the Beach

Cool bags at the ready! Whether you’re staying close to home at Southport or heading down south to the beaches of Devon and Cornwall for the half term, it’s great to feel the sand between your toes.

Get those Hawaiian vibes flowing with this pale blue shirt from BOSS. Perfect for little ones, this soft cotton piece works both as a throw-on to stop sunburn or as a smart shirt for an evening BBQ event. It will quickly become a wardrobe staple this summer, we’re sure of that!


Feed Their Curiosity at the Science and Industry Museum

Ever tried to describe your favourite childhood computer game to your little ones? From Street Fighter and Sonic to Mario and Pacman, the Power Up event at Manchester’s Science and Industry museum has them all! Open all over the holiday, this retro gaming experience is a great idea, especially if the weather takes a turn and you need an indoor activity that will keep them busy for a few hours. With multiplayer options, why not invite their friends? Surely they won’t be able to beat your best-ever score?!

All gamers will testify that you need to be super-comfy and relaxed to perform at your best. We think this chic CK sweater would be the perfect gaming piece.


Get Ready for Adventure

Need to burn off some of that excess energy? Get your little ones down to the Bear Grylls Adventure in Birmingham this half term. Whether they’re scaling the climbing walls, axe throwing, indoor skydiving or tackling on the high ropes, this is the ultimate day out for active families. Shark diving, anyone?

Such an active day calls for top quality active wear. Dressed in these DKNY joggers or these EA7 cobalt shorts, they’ll be ready for anything!


Get Active at the National Trust

From activity trails to outdoor storytelling, the National Trust really comes up trumps with half-term activities the whole family can enjoy. Even if you’re not taking part in a particular event, just getting out and about in nature will give you a chance to reset and recharge away from those computer screens.

Most of these historic settings boast woodlands and gardens to explore so make sure you’ve got the right footwear for a day of walking! These kids’ hiking boots from UGG would be ideal for them, while mums will feel warm and cosy in these spring-like mauve Hunters.

Whatever you’re planning this spring half term, find some great discounted designer looks at Hurley’s.
