Hi all

A friend of mine is trying to do a write up of what's on around the UK for half term and I said I thought you might be able to help. My earlier post was greeted with resounding silence, so have resorted to the Help Help in the title PLUS a sticky.

Of course we should tell her to check the Local sites but not sure that all the listings on there are as up to date as they should be , so once you've posted here, please feel free to add your info to your local Mumsnet Local here

She's particularly looking for artsy stuff, local theater, ballet, activity days... but anything would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi all!

I work for a digital media agency that is representing Cartoon Network. I thought that you might be interested in some activities that they have created to keep children and parents entertained over the Half Term.

Cartoon Network will be running these fun, daily games and challenges on www.incredikids.co.uk, all aimed at allowing your children to use their imagination and get active in their time off.

Have a great Half Term!

There's even one for babies on 25th at De Montfort Hall. "All adults must be accompanied by a suitable baby."

What do you do if you have an unsuitable baby I wonder?
