Half term can often be an expensive time for families as you clamber to find activities to keep the little ones entertained. The whole thing can become understandably stressful.
To help things run a little smoother, there are plenty of places in and around Manchester offering generous discounts for kids—from meals on the house, to completely free museum tours and exhibitions.
Coinciding with Ducie Street Warehouse’s brand-new kids menu, the restaurant has announced a ‘Kids Eat Free’ offering that will run through February Half Term, valid from Tue 15 until Sun 25 Feb.
Bookings must be made in advance to claim.
The Science and Industry Museum has a jam-packed programme of free fun and discovery for all the family this February half term.
From a journey around the body to a display of the made-in-Manchester inventions that changed the world, there’s something for everyone at this hub of innovation and learning.
Head to the Science and Industry website to find out what’s on.
From Mon-Fri between 12pm-7.30pm, kids eat free at Yard & Coop with every adult main ordered throughout the holidays. They also promise to have lego and crayons on-hand to keep them busy, at least for a little while.
A little friendly half term competition for the little ones. Lane7 will be running their Parent Saver offer between Mon-Fri until 6pm, which includes two games of bowling & a soft drink for £10 per child.
For every £10 spent by adults, little ones can tuck into YO! Sushi’s Mini Ninja menu for free.
The offer includes one main, one side and a drink from the Kids Meal Deal menu—a dessert from the menu can be added for £1.50.
Every adult meal ordered at Banyan will come with a kids meal on the house. Head down from Mon 21-Fri 25 before 6pm to grab the deal.
Vietnamese street food more your thing? For £5.50 kids can choose from a whole host of delicious offerings from the dedicated small menu like battered chicken nugget skewers, mini pho soup, wok-fried noodles or chicken ca-ri.
The National Football Museum is hosting a variety of inclusive, family-friendly events throughout the February half term.
Perfect for any sporting-mad youngsters, the school holiday programme ensures the museum is able to deliver on its goal of being a place for everyone to enjoy stories about football culture.
For any adult main ordered, kids can eat for a quid at Bella Italia when you grab a code from this link.
There are a couple of dedicated offerings for little ones—the Piccolo menu is aimed at children aged two to six years, with the Grande for seven to 11-year-olds.
Tesco cafes are offering a free kids meal deal to anyone making a purchase, as long as you have a clubcard.
Kids can choose a sandwich, a drink, fruit and two snacks when an adult makes a purchase—there’s no minimum spend either.
The offer runs weekdays from now until Feb 25.
After 3pm, kids eat free and can choose from hot meals and the cold pick and mix selection at Asda cafes.
