What's On February Including Half Term



It is almost February! Thankfully the 907 days of January are almost up and we are edging closer to warmer weather (we can dream right?)


I have checked the half term dates across the North East and some are different to others take a look below at the dates. I have decided to just do a what's on throughout February covering the first weekends and then everyday up until the end of the month. That way it should cover most areas for Half Term.
