There’s plenty to entertain all the family during an October Half Term Holiday in Newquay.

Dive into the action at the beach and have a go at surfing, rock-pooling, paddle boarding and coasteering. The team at Newquay Activity Centre offer family surf lessons so you can really make a splash this half term. Who will be the family pro by the end of the holiday? After all that activity it’s time to refuel with a portion of traditional Cornish fish and chips by the coast.

October half term sees Cornwall’s range of attractions offer some spooky seasonal shenanigans to keep kids of all ages entertained! The Blue Reef Aquarium and Newquay Zoo are right on your doorstep, or jump in the car and head further afield.

Flambards Theme Park in Helston offers rides for the entire family plus take on their spooky Victorian Village quiz trail this half term. Also, check out Camel Creek Adventure Park and their Halloweek activities.

Jump on a stream train at Lappa Valley and meet Paddington Bear on selected dates this half term.

The iconic Eden Project is a 30-minute drive from Newquay and is open for family days out this half term and like many other Cornish attractions – tickets must be prebooked online. To find out more about what’s on at the attractions this half term head to Best Days out in Cornwall.

Choose from a stunning range of self-catering accommodation to suit your needs, from characterful cottages big enough to house the whole family or sea view family apartments, so you never have to miss a moment of the action. Our largest property sleeps up to eight people so you will be sure to have ample space to relax after a day out exploring.

This October Half Term, make memories in Cornwall that will last a lifetime.
