Half Term Dates – UK School Holidays Blog.
Welcome to our Half Term Dates blog, created for tourists and parents alike.
In our blog you’ll find articles on UK school holidays, travel destinations, tourism conservation projects, holiday cottage offers, events and much more. We also blog about travel overseas but our main focus is UK tourism news. After all the British Isles have so much to offer, even the most seasoned of traveller won’t have visited all of the UK’s hidden tourist gems.
Our School Holidays website went online in the summer of 2008 and has grown steadily ever since. The idea behind Half Term Dates came about after trying to book holidays and never being sure when the best deals were available!

Our School Holidays website has grown to become a great source of information for tourists and families.
We hope you will find our school holidays and tourism blog articles just as useful, we try to cover all areas of the UK.
Many hotels, holiday cottages and guest houses have great discounts if you book outside of the published school holidays. We hope our travel articles will inspire you to book a holiday in the UK soon.
