5 reasons to visit the Eden Project this February Half Term – the Eden Project has to be one of our favourite local attractions here at The Valley. With a plethora of exciting activities, events and sights available all year around, this February half term has a fantastic line up of family-friendly activities that all the family will enjoy:
Are you a fan of Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit? If so, you’ll love the newest adventure by the same creators, Early Man. The scene is set at the dawn of time and tells an incredible story of Dug and his best friend Hognob as they courageously fight to save their beloved home. Take a step back in time to go on your very own quest for the Schoolkel coin and you’ll learn about historic civilisations before heading into the Cave where you can become a cave-artist! Not only will this be an educational experience of history, but you’ll also have the chance to see some sneak previews of behind the scenes footage from the film itself! The Early Man exhibitions will be available for your adventures between the 13th February and the 18th February, so don’t miss out on this exclusive event! Don’t forget to head to your local cinema to see the full story too!
Celebrate the magic of children’s stories at the Eden Project this half term with Storyfest. With performances by the Imagination Seekers drawing inspiration from Roald Dahl’s wild stories, writing workshops by Paper Nations, crafts and workshops a plenty, there’s something to capture all the family’s interests this February! Storyfest is running from the 11th to the 19th February 2018 and admission fees are included in the entry price to the Eden Project.
The Christmas ice skating rink is open until the 18th February for all to enjoy. Whether you and the kids are rookies or professional skaters, you’ll love the magical experience.
