GETAWAYS
UK Half Term Breaks cont.
Peppa Pig World and The New Forest

PGL Adventure Centres
We understand that sometimes, parents can’t take the time off work to be
able to take the kids away on a grand adventur But what about somewhere
e.
the children can go on alone and have as much fun as possible? Dotted
around the country (there's even one in Sussex), PGL Adventure Centres
offer lots of different things to do on a multi-themed, multi-activity break
just for those aged 7-17 years. Each break includes all meals,
accommodation, activities, and evening entertainment and, of course, the
chance for your child to grow and develop through play and education!

London Theatre Break

There is something about Peppa and her family that younger children (and
some grownups too) immediately fall in love with. But did you know that
she has her own theme park? Situated within the larger Paultons Park
(which in itself is an excellent adventure for the whole family and includes
animals, as well as rides) in the New Forest, Peppa Pig World is the ideal
place to take your little one(s). By booking a few nights away in a cottage
or hotel, you can also take the opportunity to explore the beautiful and
magical New Forest too. There are fantastic walks to be taken, family friendly
pubs to enjoy, and of course, the famous New Forest ponies to discover
amongst a host of other days out.

Isle of Wight Campers

Our nation’s capital can sometimes be forgotten (perhaps intentionally)
when it comes to a break away, either because it seems too close to home,
or because it’s an expensive place to have fun when there are cheaper
alternatives. That’s not always the case, though, as there are many offers
around that can make the trip much more cost effective. There is a plethora
of exciting and interesting things to do in London, but perhaps the most
wonderful of all is a West End show. Companies such as Just London
Theatre Breaks will allow you to choose the show you want, the date you
want to see it, and arrange a gorgeous London hotel for you to rest your
weary head in afterwards. This is the perfect mini break, and you’ll also
have time to see a few sights while you’re in town!

The Isle of Wight is a great place to spend a week, and there is plenty to
do for all the family, no matter what their ages. The fun of getting there (on
a ferry!) is the beginning of the adventure, and it just gets better. Explore
Osborne House (Queen Victoria’s Isle of Wight residence), visit the Needles,
go to the Robin Hood Adventure Park, see the waxwork museum, and so
much more. And if you are
