Half term is prime time for a theatre trip. Skip the big West End shows—they’re pricey. Instead, hunt down a puppet show at the Little Angel Theatre. It’s intimate and wonderfully weird. Your kids will be mesmerised.
Or try the Unicorn Theatre. It’s designed entirely for children. The plays are clever, funny, and never talk down to them. You’ll laugh too. Guaranteed.
Want a free story? Visit London’s Mithraeum. It’s an ancient Roman temple hidden under a modern office block. They do a light and sound show that makes it feel like you’re in a dream. History, but make it trippy.
