What week is your October half term?

Two neighbouring counties here have different half term weeks this year, one is
Mon 22nd Oct - Fri 26th Oct
And the other is
Mon 29th Oct - Fri 2nd Nov.

I just wanted to see what week is more common, so I know what week is better to visit nice places (legoland etc) with pre-schoolers as it might be quieter!

Shetland 2.5weeks! Started yesterday, kids go back on 31st October.

We don’t get any days off in September & having a long holiday enables everyone to leave and go to Tenerife for sun! Winter is long & the kids go to and from school in the dark
