Ah, October - the month of crisp autumn walks, cosy jumpers, pumpkin-spiced everything and family fun. If you’re looking for ways to make the October half-term break a special one without any of the stress, we have you covered. From morning treats to slime-making sessions, here’s how to make the most of your day out with us...
Let's get shopping!
Start your adventure with a little retail therapy! Stock up on new-season staples at H&M or find cosy knitwear and everyday essentials at M&S. For the young ones, Deichmann has sturdy school shoes and trainers perfect for playground adventures, while little bookworms can head to Waterstones and WHSmith for page-turners to enjoy on chilly evenings. Feeling a little more creative? Discover crafting goodies from The Works, and don’t forget Lewisham Toy Library for toys that encourage play and learning!
Feeling hungry?
Cooler days call for warm dishes and seasonal flavours. Enjoy a pit stop at Chopstix for tasty noodles and Asian-inspired dishes, or keep it classic with a quick bite from Greggs. Looking for an extra pop of flavour? Popeyes serves up Louisiana-style fried chicken with all the trimmings. For a cosy afternoon pick-me-up, head to Costa or Starbucks to indulge in some of autumn’s favourite flavours – perfect for both Pumpkin Spice Latte lovers and Maple Hazel enthusiasts.
Make time for play!
Half-term isn’t complete without a little playtime. Dive into hands-on fun at Gootopia, where slime-making meets imagination - the perfect sensory activity for kids. Discover everything from Frankenslime workshops to a huge variety of slime to take home with you and get stuck into big adventures with the little ones. Want to take the fun home with you? Flying Tiger and MINISO are treasure troves of quirky gadgets and games that will keep kids entertained long after your day out at Lewisham comes to an end.
