Half term help

Im looking for some suggestions for a last minute short break at half term. Travelling from East mids so don't want to drive for hours (max 3) and to a coastal town down south. My kids love the usual arcades, rides & tacky seaside attractions. Would also love recommendations for nicer things to do around the area as well, thanks

Wells next to the sea, North Norfolk - lovely area, fun walks along beach, couple of arcades, some nice restaurants and pubs. Places like Holkham Hall nearby

Bournemouth? Great range there as, apart from the seaside town bit, there’s access to the New Forest, Dorset coast and villages and over to Studland/Swanage.
