What’s On During May Half-Term in Kent

26th  – 31st May   

The rotten realities of life in the Middle Ages are coming to Hever Castle this half-term, with Queen Elinor of Castile taking guests on a horribly hilarious adventure back to 1278. You’ll be led on an equally interesting and disgusting journey through the Castle grounds, where exciting challenges and quests await.

2nd May – 21st June   

A gorgeous storybook trail that brings Quentin Blake’s tale of Jack & Nancy to life, this Dockyard adventure promises the sights and sounds of the high seas, complete with learning some real-life sailor skills. Little ones will also receive their very own adventure journal.  

23rd – 31st May     

A clue-led adventure map helmed by explorer mascot Pippa will lead you through the different areas of Penshurst’s glorious grounds. A journey that can only be completed by solving riddles, this is a great half-term event for the whole family. 

25th, 26th & 27th May   

Available on selected departures from Tenterden and Bodiam, Bricks on the Move is a fantastic day out for all the family. Simply book your ticket, take your seats and enjoy building with hundreds of LEGO and DUPLO bricks as you steam through scenic countryside.

26th – 30th May 

From Marvellous Minibeasts to Morpho the Munching Millipede, English Heritage is hosting a series of events reserved exclusively for members at Walmer Castle & Gardens, which is perfect if you’re holidaying nearby and find yourself in need of entertainment and excitement for the little ones.
