February half term events for all the family

There’s plenty to keep the little ones busy this half term. Travel back in time and watch medieval siege engines in action or discover what life was like in a Victorian cotton mill. If you want to escape into the outdoors then why not get closer to nature and learn how to identify flowers or build your own nest box for birds.
