February Spring Half Term can be one of the trickiest of the school holidays to find activities to keep your kids happy.  The excitement of Christmas has gone and the weather tends to be damp and cold.  Fear not, I’ve pulled together lots of February Half Term activities to fill everyday in Gloucestershire.  From Cheltenham to Gloucester and Stroud to Cirencester, the Gloucestershire February half term guide has it all.

If you need some school holiday childcare, check out the Feb half term holiday club guide.

SPOTLIGHT

Get stuck into your half term with minibeast mud hunts, glorious games, wild crafts – and mud, mud more mud at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre. With hands-on activities for all ages and abilities, everyone can connect with nature and discover the magical powers of mud for wildlife and play. After all, it’s the stuff wetlands (and great family adventures) are made of.
