This term has flown by, can you believe it’s October half term in just 2 weeks?! In this post you’ll find what’s on around Slough & Windsor and a bit further out ie Surrey, Bucks. Some events are announced nearer to half term, which I will share on my stories as soon as they are. As always, check with the individual attraction for final details/last minute changes before setting off (links included below).
PS If you are looking to recycle Halloween Costumes, visit the Craft Coop in Windsor from now until 31 Oct, where they are doing a Halloween Fancy Dress Swap Shop.
Also, not related to Halloween but Trolls 3 AKA Trolls Band Together is out in cinemas from Friday 20 October (that’s right, we are seeing it first – it’s being released in November in the US!!)
