It’s not long now until October half term and we’re looking forward to welcoming lots of families to Southwold to enjoy a week of relaxation. We thought it might be useful to let you know about some of the events taking place locally and some of the best things to do to keep the young ones entertained this October.
Spooky goings on at the Maize Maze
Southwold’s award winning Maize Maze will be open at weekends throughout October and November, but is open the whole week for half term (Tuesday to Sunday). As well as the usual fun of the two maize mazes, playpark with bounce pillows and sandpits, ride on tractors, pedal go-carts and zip wires there will be lots of spooky going’s on to celebrate Halloween. Of course there’s also the most fabulous café and the heavenly walks to enjoy so
