The ultimate guide to February Half Term 2022 around Slough and Windsor, and a bit further out in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and London.
Half term is a bit split this year as some children are off next week, and others the week after. But I’ve included events across both weeks – you’ll find free events, shows, days out and I’ve even included a section for our mini transport enthusiasts. I hope this helps you plan your half term if you are looking for things to do – remember to TAG me on socials if you were inspired by anything on this guide 😀
