I was just looking at an event advertised as being for half term but it’s the week after our half term (20th-24th) so I was just wondering if other places are different? A bit annoying as it’s quite close, although different county.

Our holidays are often slightly different to England

I've just realised that I hadn't even checked our dates this year. We're Scottish borders so a bit earlier, 10th-21st.

Last week of october, north.

lincoln75 · 27/09/2025 18:08

We have 2 weeks from 27/10. Unfortunately I read last years term dates and booked a family holiday for the week before. My son is ecstatic about a 3 week half term! I'm more annoyed that I didn't even benefit from a cheap holiday. It was the same price and I have a fine to pay

gingercat02 · 27/09/2025 18:13

Always the last week of October so it includes Halloween
NE England

ThatBluntZebra · 27/09/2025 18:16

Week after you, Worcestershire

HappyAsASandboy · 27/09/2025 18:21

Two of my kids have 2 weeks from Monday 20th October and two of them have one week from Monday 27th October.

I hate that holidays can vary between schools (even within the same county Confused )

theresapossuminthekitchen · 27/09/2025 18:25

Two weeks starting from 18th October

tinyspiny · 27/09/2025 18:26

DashboardConfession · 27/09/2025 18:27

23rd Oct to 31st. I've lived in about 5 counties and it's always been the last week.

Coasterfan · 27/09/2025 18:30

Last two weeks of October, they took a week off us in the summer holidays a few years ago and added it to October half term, I love it!
