Here at Treworgey we've got pony clubs, forest school, a bat hunt and a pumpkin carving competition to keep our younger half term guests busy.
However, after all the trick-or-treating your kids may have done all that and still be bouncing off the walls, so have a look below for ideas on local half term activities to make sure your small people are snoring sweetly by 7pm, leaving you free to put your feet up with a glass of wine in front of the fire!
