May Half Term Holidays

May half term holidays combine the joys of spring with the onset of summer, and this often means a week of fun and activities spent out in the sunshine (with a bit of luck!) It also marks the last school break before the summer holidays and is a chance to get together as a family, have some well-deserved time off school and work, and share some much-needed quality time.

The country is bursting with historic sites, stunning coastlines and natural wonders just waiting to be discovered and explored.

                                      How to spend the May half term holiday

                                      Head for seaside fun on the coast...

                                      Longer days and warmer temperatures mean that May is often a great time of year to head to the UK coast. Traditional seaside resorts like Blackpool, Bournemouth and Brighton offer bustling Victorian pleasure piers, family-friendly amusements and arcades, and lovely beaches for sunbathing, picnicking and dips in the sea. Along the stunning coastlines of Devon and Cornwall, the breathtaking beaches come alive with holidaymakers enjoying watersports like surfing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Scenic walking routes like the South West Coast path offer a chance to discover hidden coves and incredible views.

                                      Explore city sights & attractions...

                                      If you’re after a May half term holiday packed with museum trips, shopping sprees and an endless choice of activities and attractions, then a city break might be just the answer. Discover fun activities and days out with the kids, like The Chocolate Story in York or Peppa Pig World in Southampton. For culture and history, explore enchanting castles in Warwick, Cardiff and Oxford or visit interactive museums in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool. With so much to see and do, you’ll never be bored on your May half term holiday in the city.

                                      Discover nature & wildlife in the countryside...

                                      The UK is filled with National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and RSPB Nature Reserves, allowing you to experience the most incredible nature and wildlife on your May half term holiday. Hiking and cycling routes in the Peak District, the Yorkshire Moors and the Scottish Highlands are a great way to explore lush countryside and rolling hills while enjoying an active day out as a family. Trips to one of the UK’s many zoos, aquariums or safari parks offers the opportunity to see exotic wildlife up close, with many places offering animal encounters which allow you to get even closer.

                                      Tip: May half term coincides with the Spring Bank Holiday, one of two May bank holidays!
