Great things to do at half term
Fabulous family entertainment and great days out to enjoy in West Sussex
This half term West Sussex offers great days out and excellent entertainment for the whole family to enjoy. Nothing says halloween more than picking your own pumpkin. Spend time choosing your pumpkin at welcoming patches in Arundel, Bignor and Rogate. Children can also join spellbinding fun at Petworth's Academy or Witches and Wizards, where you'll find broomstick racing and potion ingredient hunting are the order of the day. Weald & Downland Living Museum challenges families to master the Shadow Box trail where hidden letters and secret messages await discovery. Treat your little monsters to a spooky canal boat ride along Chichester Canal, no tricks just fun activities and refreshments.
Further autumnal adventures await in the great outdoors, exploring the nature reserves of RSPB Pagham Harbour & RSPB Medmerry, where miles of footpaths encourage explorations and keen eyes can spot many kinds of birds, insects and wildlife, as well as tours of Chichester Harbour aboard Solar Heritage. Special half term 'Birds Ahoy' trips will explore the amazing wildlife of the harbour- particularly wading birds and wildfowl, with binoculars to use so children can spot for themselves.
Not to be missed is the landing of Luke Jerram's awe-inspiring Mars at Chichester Cathedral. There's a variety of ways to view this incredible installation as well as workshops and talks.
