WITH the February half-term fast approaching, you might be wondering how to keep your little ones entertained without breaking the bank.

We have pulled together a list of the best child-friendly activities across Wirral.

Take a trip to New Brighton Beach

There’s plenty to do in New Brighton. Start off with a walk around Vale Park and explore the mini fairy village. 

Walk along the coastline towards Marine Point to grab an award-winning ice cream from Caffe Cream, or a spot of lunch from one of the several restaurants and cafes along the waterfront.

It is a beautiful building housing one of the UK's finest collections of fine and decorative art.

They have 'Craft and create' and 'Chinese New Year' events during half term.
