School’s out and energy levels are high – it’s time for a fun-filled February!
Whether you’re chasing high-energy activities, stocking up on arts and crafts, or sitting down to a delicious family meal, Southside has everything you need to level up your half-term plans.
Make it an adventure
Turn your visit into a playful adventure by turning the shopping experience into a series of mini-challenges this half-term – follow a colourful trail through the centre by creating your own colour walk, spotting bold shades and creative details along the way. Don’t forget to visit our fabulous mural by Wandsworth-based artist Ruki Chuki – a go-to spot for a family selfie!
Rate our fabulous window displays and vote for your fave shop as you explore. Little ones can also take on fun quests to keep them busy, from finding the biggest teddy to enjoying a centre-wide game of ‘I Spy’ as they shop.
Make February fun
Budget friendly fun
There’s nothing like a little retail therapy during the school holidays and the kids will have a fab time spending their well-earned pocket money on a must-have new toy, book, craft set or a stylish new outfit.
Get ready for the season ahead with rain-proof coats, wellies and colourful new term accessories from Primark, TK Maxx or UNIQLO, then head to Waterstones or GET Free Books to choose a new page-turner. Stock up on arts, crafts supplies and rainy-day activities at The Works, MINISO and WHSmith to keep the fun going at home, whatever the weather.
Big family days out
Treat the little ones to a fun-filled afternoon as they dive into a world of slime at Gootopia. While they get hands-on creating their own colourful, squishy masterpieces, you can sit back and relax in the Gootopia Slime Café. Keep the half-term adventure going for older kids with an e-karting race or bowling at Gravity MAX or an adrenaline-fuelled climbing adventure, perfect for burning off extra energy.
After all the excitement, relax at Cineworld and watch the latest family-friendly releases. For younger viewers, the half-term break offers plenty of entertaining choices, from the animated basketball adventure GOAT to Looney Tunes: The Day the Earth Blew Up and the delightful Little Amélie.
Sit down to a family meal
Round off your exciting day with a relaxed family meal at Southside. Whether you’re stopping by for a tasty lunch or a laid-back dinner, there’s something to suit every taste. Explore flavour-packed dishes from around the world, from juicy burgers at Five Guys to comforting Asian favourites at wagamama and flame-grilled chicken at Nando’s. With so many family-friendly spots to choose from, it’s a joy to spend quality time together this half-term.
