A guide to what's going, things to do, events and family attractions to visit over half term in Surrey.

What about these great ideas

Family Time

• There’s plenty of fun to be had at Bocketts Farm. This half term, treat the children to a day at Bocketts Farm, with a packed programme of fun and spooky activities.  Encounter a range of reptiles,enjoy a science and slime show or explore the spooktacularly fun trail.  With pony rides, cute rabbits to cuddle and feed and the many wonderful farm animals to meet you can enjoy a full day of entertainment at Bocketts Farm.
• Celebrate awesome Spring in the garden with fun activities, including trails and gardening workshops at RHS Garden Wisley.
• The British Wildlife Centre near Lingfield opens its doors for the half term.  Walk through the red squirrel enclosure, traverse the wetland boardwalk and enjoy keeper talks and the much-loved owl flying displays.
• Check out the Brooklands Museum guide to half term fun for ideas to help plan a full day of family fun at this award winning museum.  During half term, the popular car rides will be operating from 11am – 1pm and from 2. 3.30pm (subject to weather).  Don’t miss the opportunity to take a ride on a vintage bus around the local area operated by the London Bus Museum.

Thrills, activities + adventures.

• Teenagers will love the newly created ZipZone at Wildwood Adventure, which gives those over 11 and min height 1.4 meters an opportunity to have one hour of access to fantastic long zips and the wild leap freefall descender!  This activity is instructor supervised so parents don't need to go their children if they don't want to do this activity themselves
• Let Guildford Spectrum keep your children active and entertained.  With so many activities including bowling, swimming, ice skating, trampolining and more, there is no chance of them getting bored.
• How about visiting Topgolf in Addlestone? Topgolf is a game that anyone can play (and win). Points are scored by hitting micro-chipped golf balls at giant dartboard-like targets on an outfield.
• Cycling enthusiasts should head over to St Marthas this half term for the start of the Downs Link.  This 37 miles bike trail follows a disused railway line.
• You are never too far from stunning countryside and wonderful parks and gardens in Surrey.  Spend a day exploring beautiful Virginia Water Lake.  Discover the ruins of Leptis Magna, the ornamental cascade waterfall and the towering 100 foot Totem Pole.

Art + crafts

• Watts Gallery in Compton is a fabulous place to visit any time of year, but early spring is ideal for making the most of the gorgeous grounds and woodland. After wandering around the gallery and the Artists’ Village, meander through the lawns and woodland, book onto one of the half term workshops.  
• There’s no better time of year to visit The Sculpture Park in Farnham. Take yourself on a self-guided tour of the 800 sculptures nestled in ten acres of arboretum and water gardens. Follow different trails depending on how much you want to walk
• Plan a visit to the WWF's Living Planet Centre in Woking and explore the extraordinary habitats of animals and find out more about our amazing planet on one of the fantastic workshops run by The Living Planet Centre.
