Places are limited, so booking is recommended, with more information here.
• Free pizza for kids: Pizza Hut is offering a Kids Eat Free deal, with children able to enjoy a free kids’ meal when an adult purchases a main meal (dine-in only).

Liam Smith, centre director at Fort Kinnaird, said: “Half term is always a busy time at Fort Kinnaird, and we love seeing families making a day of it. Whether that’s catching a film at Odeon, getting creative at Hobbycraft, browsing the shops or sitting down for a family meal. So, it’s great to see a range of offers available across the centre, helping to make keeping the young ones entertained that bit easier over the break.”
