FAMILY fun is coming up at Conkers activity centre over the February half term.

There are 120 acres to explore at the Conkers centre, including a 4D cinema, indoor play, a 450-metre barefoot walk and the Conkerchoo train.

Conkers was closed during the week in January to allow for maintenance work to refresh the visitor experience, with the centre re-opening fully on February 12.

Chris Sturdy, regional operations manager at Conkers, said: “We’re all looking forward to the February half-term break following our regular winter spruce-up.

“There are lots of activities and entertainment galore, both inside and outside, for the whole family to enjoy.”
