February half term on Brownsea Island

Colourful nature photo

About

Brownsea Island will be open to day visitors this February half-term with lots of family-focused fun. It's your first chance to have a go on our new natural play area and look out for some of the early signs of spring around the island.

Head over and help us celebrate World Thinking Day and Founder's day with a week of Scouting and Guiding inspired activities suitable for kids of all ages.

Where better to have a go at some of these fun themed activities but the birthplace of Scouting, Brownsea? Come over and have a go at our free Scouting trail (available daily) or join in with a campfire singalong and marshmallow toasting at the weekends.
