NOTE: 2019 School Holidays
You may have noticed that school authorities across the country are now taking their half term and end of term holidays at different times across the year. This is usually been the case with Scottish schools but it is now commonplace for schools in England to have different holiday dates as well.
For us, as an industry, this throws up additional challenges, especially when it comes to future planning; how busy the city will be, deciding prices, managing staff rotas and delivering seasonal activity.
Starting from February half-term there can be a variation in dates - to help you plan effectively school holiday dates around the country can be found here
