Browse the siteSo here we are again. Christmas is packed away, routine has barely returned, and February Half Term has popped up to say “surprise!”
But fear not, fellow parents — before you resort to unlimited screen time and bribery with biscuits, Mum’s Guide to Luton is here to help. I’ve rounded up some of the best days out and kids’ activities in and around town to help you survive (and maybe even enjoy) the week.
Be sure to check the What's On section for the full list of events, and always double-check with event organisers or their websites for the most up-to-date information, as details may change. It’s your go-to guide to make the most of this half term!
If you're working over half term or just looking for ways to let the kids have some fun and give yourself a little break, you'll find all the info you need in our Holiday Clubs section of the website.
If you have a Half Term event you would like to feature on the website, fill out this form or e-mail me at [email protected].
