If you are looking to enjoy all the beautiful beaches, scenic walking trails or fascinating activities and attractions of a family holiday without all the crowds and queues of the summer months, why not take the whole family one of these May half-term beaks?

Why May Half-term Breaks?

May half-term breaks offer everything you can enjoy on a holiday without all the hassle of a peak season break. So, why not make the most of the kids being off school and whisk them away for a May half-term holiday? Whether it’s a short break near a UK city or a week-long holiday on the British coast, there’s a perfect getaway for everyone in this collection.

Whilst many Brits favour the summertime for a staycation, we think a Spring getaway is just as special!

Get away for a May half-term holiday full of fun and adventure that both you and the kids will enjoy, creating valuable memories for the future.

Places to Visit During a May Half-term Holiday

If the weather turns there are plenty of farm parks and zoos scattered across the country, as well as theme parks like Alton Towers in the Peak District.
