Find out what’s on for kids this Feb half term 2025 in Cheshire and Greater Manchester.

February Half Term can be one of the trickiest of the school holidays to find activities to keep your kids happy.  The excitement of Christmas has gone and the weather tends to be damp and cold.  Fear not, I have found lots of February Half Term events to fill everyday.

SPOTLIGHT – COCKFIELDS FARM PARK

Surround yourself with adorable newborn lambs, chicks, and ducklings at Cockfields Farm Park this February Half Term. Enjoy farmer talks, a bottle-feeding demonstration, and “Learn to be a Farmer” activities in our maternity ward. You might even witness a live birth!

Cuddle Corner will be extra fluffy with newly hatched chicks and ducks to handle. Don’t miss the reptile encounter in our cozy safari tent, featuring snakes and lizards ready for handling.
