Find out what’s on for kids this Feb half term 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

Join Cockfields Farm for their Barnyard Baby Bash event! The farm park offers a whole day of excitement including indoor and outdoor play, café, tractor rides, reptile house, and in Feb half-term you’ll be surrounded by newborn lambs, kid goats, chicks, and ducklings, as they get ready for spring!

Farmer talks, bottle-feeding demonstration, and ‘Learn to be a Farmer’ activities, will be held in the maternity ward with 14 expectant Ewe’s (mama sheep), and a calf crèche for the baby cows. It will be a great learning experience for the little ones, and you may even get to see a live birth!
