Dear Readers,<br />
Welcome to the first half-term edition of the school year! We<br />
hope that now your little ones have had some time to settle in<br />
they’re enjoying the new experiences and positive challenges<br />
that this academic year has brought.<br />
There are lots of indoor and outdoor events and activities on offer<br />
over the next few weeks. From the many ‘Spooktacular’ themed<br />
events and activities, hair raising fun on the farm, and Steam and<br />
Scream trains to Twilight Treks and organised firework displays;<br />
we hope that everyone will be able to find something that they’ll<br />
enjoy! Pantomime season is also approaching, so make sure you<br />
check out our Box Office section so you don’t miss out! In the<br />
meantime, there are lots of local fun shows for kids of all ages to<br />
enjoy, including Tabby McTat at the Lichfield Garrick.<br />
Our next magazine will be out well in time for the Christmas<br />
period and this issue features a preview of some of the<br />
festive family events that can be pre-booked now. Until then<br />
we hope you have a lovely half-term break full of fun and<br />
exciting activities for the whole family!<br />
With our very best wishes,<br />
