May Half Term Breaks

May Half Term

Fri 27 May – Mon 6 June 2022

See Stephen Mulhern for his first performance of his brand new show!

Need something to look forward to but can't wait until the summer holidays? May Half Term is just the ticket! The kids are off school, the weather’s getting warmer and there’s two bank holidays in the mix – meaning two whole extra days of fun – so make the most of it with an action-packed trip to Butlin’s. Whether you’ve got an always-on-the-go tot or a hard-to-please teen on your hands (or both!), you won’t be stuck for things to do this half term. Swim ‘til you’re wrinkly, get stuck into endless activities and see your favourites live on stage, including Stephen Mulhern, Sam & Mark, Mister Maker and more. Consider your May half term sorted.
