To find out where your nearest scheme is click on this link https://merseyplay.com/feb-half-term-activities-food/ or go to https://www.merseyplay.com and click on the February half-term activities link from Friday 3rd February.
When you have chosen the activity/scheme you will need to contact that organisation to book a place. Each organisation will have either a telephone number, email address, or online booking system. If your child has any additional needs or dietary requirements then please discuss this with the organisation when you book. There is no central booking system so please read the details of the programmes on the website and contact the providers directly.
