Come rain or shine, there are plenty of things to see and do during the school holiday this half term in the Dover, Deal and Sandwich area.
The first River Runner boat trip of the year is on Saturday 14 February, with further trips on Sunday 15, Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 February. Join the boat at Sandwich Quay, wrap up warm, bring hot drinks and enjoy a trip where you'll learn about the river's history, amazing wildlife and beautiful seal colony. Don’t worry about the weather - there is a roof and canopy to keep the rain off. Advance booking essential.
Wonderful Wingham Wildlife Park has a packed week of activities and there is always something amazing to see, including capybara babies, majestic tigers and giraffes, and you may be lucky enough to see the rare orangutan baby! There's an indoor play area for younger children if the weather is particularly rough. A very special pink guest is visiting on Monday 16 February (see below).
Wrap up warm and head outdoors to see the very early signs of spring. Visit Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory where you can follow paths around the site and watch birds from one of the hides on the reserves. Samphire Hoe at the base of the White Cliffs near Dover is also a great place to explore and there are drop in activities on Saturday 14 and 21 February.
