NOW CLOSED

With a school half term in our midst, you may be thinking about the ways you can keep your children occupied and active. Arla BIG Milk would like to hear about the Big Adventures you have planned or have been on this October half term.

Here’s what Arla Big Milk has to say: “We know how important it is to get your little explorers out in the world around them, so we’ve partnered with Magic Light to bring you yearlong BIG Adventures. From Gruffalo nature trail walks to BIG Adventures craft videos, there’s lots for you and your little one to get involved in. We’re also running an on pack monthly prize draw, available across UK grocery retailers, to give you the chance to win an amazing trip to Chessington World of Adventures. Arla Big Milk is simply fresh whole milk that’s enriched with essential nutrients so if you want to join in on the adventure, come visit our site to explore activities for your half term.”

What days out do you have planned for the half term? Do you have a trip to a theme or adventure park pencilled in? Perhaps you have plans to explore the great outdoors with your children? If you’ve already been on adventures this half term, what did you get up to?

Whatever your half term plans, post them below to be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

My children are adults now, so we no longer have to plan holidays around half term.

A mix and match of jobs to do and some days out using our National Trust membershop probably

We’ve got a day out planned at Willows so that the kids can pick their own pumpkins from their pumpkin patch. They’ve had supermarket ones up until now so thought it might make it all a bit more magical and make some lovely memories too.

Unfortunately work, but i'm sure we can make some room for a cinema trip and a nice meal out.

Three days at a local kids sports activity club (peace for me), a visit to the grandparents plus a day out with the grandparents, a visit to the cinema.

We've got a couple of days out planned - including going to Alton Towers xx

Hoping to get out and about as much as possible, farm trip planned, English Heritage visit with activities and just going for a walk in the woods. I've also promised my girls that we'll do some baking and of course carve our pumpkins ready for Halloween!

Always used to enjoy taking my primary school child to the library - plenty of planned events and story times, then choose some new books to read when we got home.
Also trips to the park to jump in puddles and kick up the leaves during the October break.

Bike riding, cinema, lunch out, London day out (maybe), baking some fairy cakes and hopefully a bit of relaxing

Visits to family and craft projects!

we are planning to see blackpool lights and if the weathers not too bad a day out at a zoo

I'll be working

Going to haven in North Wales with my kids!

Last of the year trips to the beach.. hats and gloves at the ready as Autumn has definitely hit Scotland.
As well as crafts, baking and movie days

Lots of walks and trips to the park when it's fine. The swimming pool, library and Birmingham's free museums when it isn't!

I have three children in different ages and it is difficult to find an activities that would interest them all.Fortunately, each of them loves to play outside, so we will play football and go for long walks. On rainy days we play in Uno and board games.

We’re going to Tenby 😃😃😃😃

We are off to Brighton for 3 days in a hotel, planning to shop, eat and drink and just enjoy the sea air more than I do at home...then my son is having a sleepover when we get back and we are just going to chill out after that.
