Ideas for Half-Term If you have left it too late for a half-term holiday camp then there are an abundance of activities happening around the capital this half term suitable for all families. The Imperial Museum: HMS Belfast If your child has an interest in history why not go to HMS Belfast this half-term where you can meet veterans and eyewitnesses. From life at the front line and being evacuated during the Second World War, to living through the Korean and Falklands Wars, their family-friendly sessions allows you to get an insight into conflict that you would not find in the history books from those who witnessed it first-hand.
Admission: Free event with general submission and suitable for all ages. Click here for more information. Museum of Childhood This museum are offering some really fun activities especially for the younger children all over half-term. You can party like a pirate, decorate a pirate's ship, see performances or even party! Prices vary so go here for more information. Boogie Shoes Silent Disco by Adventures London

Ice Skating: The Natural History Museum For a really fun-filled afternoon, we highly recommend ice-skating outside The Natural History Museum.
