Primary Times Greater Manchester - October Half Term 2025
35,550 COPIES FOR FAMILIES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN Greater Manchester
This is one of my favourite issues of the year. I love this season with the crisp autumnal colours, the evenings starting to draw in and the hint of the festive season on the horizon!
Plus, my children absolutely love pumpkins and dressing up and there are so many activities and events to incorporate this. Head to page 6 for our roundup of places to choose from and you’ll find a voucher for Gulliver’s Theme Parks too – I know they are well sought after.
Our What’s on Where pages are handy to see everything listed in date order, hopefully this makes planning your weekends and half term that bit easier! We even have a preview of what’s to come in the festive season from page 14. Have fun and enjoy your autumn with the children. We’ll be back after the fireworks have faded away to bring you all things Christmassy in our Winter Issue.
Best Wishes,
