With half-term coming up we have a few suggestions for how to keep the kids happy and busy for the week.
This year, February half-term will be from February 12 to 18.
From now until February 18 you can take the kids to enjoy The Early Man Trail at Bluewater.
The Early Man is the new creation from the makers of Wallace and Gromit. Families looking for adventure can join the tribe in search of 12 prehistoric characters from The Early Man film, now showing at Showcase Cinema de Lux.
The trail is free to join and you can pick up your maps from the concierge desk outside M&S on the lower mall. If you find all the characters, you will even win a prize.
There is also an Early Man clay modelling workshop that will be taking place between February 12 and 15 and is free for all.
The workshops will take place every 30 minutes, from 10am to 6pm and will feature an introduction to the new Early Man film. Guests should head to the lower mall, outside M&S, to book a slot on the day.
Alternatively, bounce into half-term at the new GraVity Trampoline Park with fun for all the family.
The park is located in the lower hall of Bluewater’s Plaza and is over 25,000 square feet. The obstacle course features a moving staircase, rotating floors, spinning punch bags and super slides. You will need to book at www.gravity-uk.com/bluewater-dartford.
