EAST RIDING – The inevitable question for parents: how to keep the week fun and varied without spending hours hunting for ideas and a fortune, especially before Christmas. We’ve done the legwork — a clean, day-by-day round-up of half-term events across Beverley, Hull and the East Riding, with direct links for quick booking.
We’ve focussed on museum workshops, one-off theatre, Halloween trails, village-hall pop-ups and seasonal sessions that don’t happen every week. The everyday staples like Jump, Rock-up etc sit at the end under “Usual Suspects”, so your daily lists is focused on what’s new or time-limited. Scan a day, pick a plan, and you’re done.
