Hit refresh this May half-term
Ah, May - the month of al fresco dinner dates, sunny nature walks, iced coffee catch-ups, feel-good film screenings, wedding wow-tfit planning and all-out newness is finally here. From breakfast ‘til bedtime, here are five things you can do to hit refresh with the fam this May half-term at Lewisham.
Fun for the little ones
Fun? We know fun! Dive into the UK’s very first high-street slime store, Gootopia, and enjoy hands-on workshops where your little ones can create slime masterpieces with no cleaning involved! Looking for something a little less… slimy? Set time aside for storytime at Waterstones every Wednesday from 10:30am and watch as your little dreamers get whisked up in the magical worlds of classics like Winnie the Pooh, Paddington and more in-store tales.

New beginnings
New beginnings. What better way to celebrate the season of fresh beginnings than a trip to our brand new Waterstones? Stocked sky-high with calming colouring essentials, viral jellycats, competitive trivia the whole family can enjoy and most importantly, the newest in fantasy-fiction, it’s a perfect pit stop for your May half-term essentials.
Let's hit refresh
Let’s hit refresh. Half-term isn’t just for the little ones. There’s no better time, or place, to sink into self-care mode. Stock up on new-season skincare at Boots, catch-up on your beauty rituals at Muskaan Beauty, give your at-home office an overhaul with fresh homeware from Flying Tiger and while you’re here, why not treat yourself to a new scent at The Fragrance Shop. Because you deserve it!
A night off from the kids
The evenings are getting lighter, sunset hour is in full glow, and romance is most definitely in the air. This half-term, escape the chaos for an hour or two at Lewisham. Turn up the spice with truly fire-crackin’, Asian dishes at Chopstix, sink your teeth into the best southern-inspired chicken burgers at Popeyes, or give in to the sickly sweet temptation of a good old Krispy Kreme doughnut.
