October Half Term Holidays

You've only just got rid of the kids after the summer holidays and before you know it, it's October and the little critters are out on half term. In other words, it's time for an October half term holiday. Whether you're all in need of some R&R and a bit of late season sun (bits of Europe can still be warm) or looking for something slightly more adventurous, we've got the inside track on all the best family destinations. How about some trick or treat? You can play a trick on winter as soon as it appears and treat your family to a half-term escape with one of our October family holidays. Join the parade along 5th Avenue in New York, or play hide and seek in a Moroccan desert. Immerse yourselves in ancient Rome or even turn the seasons upside down and head to Kenya for a (their) spring safari. You might want to replay summer in a Vietnamese market or in a cove in the Seychelles, and along the way our kids' goodie bags will keep the children entertained so you get some R&R too.

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

If it's a relaxing break you're after, we can make sure that is exactly what you get: even with the kids in tow, this is possible. We know the hotels with the best Kids Clubs and activities on offer, so the children can be kept busy as much or as little as they (or you...) choose; we will also ensure there are babysitting services available in the evenings, so you can spend some time to yourselves and enjoy a peaceful meal.
If you're planning a luxury family holiday for the October half term with young children then much-loved children's party people Sharky & George, who we've joined forces with, will put together a carefully selected goodie bag kitted with bits and bobs to keep the children entertained throughout the trip.
