It might feel as though the kids have only just gone back to school after the Christmas and New Year break, but February half-term will soon be upon us.
But if you are worried about keeping little ones entertained throughout the week, rest assured that there is plenty of fun family events planned for the holiday across the North East.
Schools in Newcastle and surrounding areas will break up on February 18 and the holiday runs from February 21-25, with schools reopening on February 28.
