[carriemumsnet]

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
