There’s only one week left until October half term - one of our favourites! Who doesn’t love all the fun that it has to offer, from Halloween, to Bonfire Night, to having an excuse to cosy up and stay in. Okay, so maybe some of you prefer the summer and miss the warm weather (me too honestly), but fear not, as there are lots of fun things going on in South Wales this half term that will help you to embrace the season.
