A-May-zing family friendly activities for half term

Nottinghamshire County Council is sharing a range of top picks for the May half term, which runs from 30 May to 3 June.

From exploring Nottinghamshire’s glorious green spaces, to getting adventurous at the Notts Outdoors holiday club, and the platinum jubilee celebrations, there is plenty happening across the week to keep everyone entertained.

Councillor John Cottee, Cabinet Member for Communities at Nottinghamshire County Council, said “It’s great that once again we have a variety of fun activities to make sure everyone has an exciting half term.

“Celebrate the platinum jubilee with plenty of family friendly activities to take part in, including a trail at Rufford Park to help find ‘Mrs Queen’ and the Big Jubilee Lunch at Southwell Minster.

“If you take any photos while you’re out and about make sure to share them with us, using the tag #ExploreNotts “

Top featured half term events include:

Rufford Abbey Country Park - Where is Mrs Queen?
