February Half Term At Brimscombe Mill
Fun activities for all ages
All our these businesses work together to host lots of exciting activities and events to keep all ages entertained in the School holidays.
From toddlers to teens there are activities for everyone. We love it when the mill is filled with families coming to hang out at Brimscombe Mill and lots even stay all day.
The Mill is a great base to explore the surrounding Stroud area, arriving in the morning at 10am for coffee, a croissant and a kids craft activity, by lunchtime children can enjoy a jacket potato and hot chocolate by the river outside. Then in the afternoon take a walk along the canal to explore the beautifully restored canal and all the nature that thrives in the valley.
We have a full timetable of activities this February half term for you and your family to enjoy.
"I am so grateful for Brimscombe Mill whenever it’s a holiday. My child has been poorly recently and there’s a limit to what we’ve been able to do and it’s great being able to come down here in all weathers."
