More Easter Half-Term Fun
Kids’ Club at the Cinema
Many cinemas run special kids’ club screenings during half-term, offering cheaper tickets for family-friendly films. We’re especially excited to see the new Snow White movie—plus, you really can't beat cinema popcorn.
Whatever the weather, there’s plenty to do in and around Stoke-on-Trent this Easter half-term.
There certainly is a lot to do. This is a great resource because kids always seem to be bored. LOL
