What To Book Before January Ends

As the month winds down, it is not too late to plan something enjoyable. Whether you are looking for creativity, comfort food or active fun, these family-friendly ideas carry you neatly from late January into February.

Craft, play and explore at the Horniman Museum

Family Craft Saturdays return to the Horniman Museum with free, hands-on sessions designed to spark creativity in younger visitors. Activities change regularly, but the focus remains on making, experimenting and exploring materials together in a relaxed museum setting.

The sessions are well suited to children aged 3 and up, with space for families to work side by side. After crafting, the museum’s galleries and gardens offer plenty of room to explore, making it easy to turn a short activity into a full morning or afternoon out.

Family Craft Saturdays take place at the Horniman Museum and are free to attend.

Enjoy winter comfort food with a family-friendly deal

Late January is a good moment to take advantage of dining offers, especially when cooking fatigue starts to set in. Old St’s Fare is offering 50% off pizza and Mediterranean small plates when you book by 31 January, making it an appealing option for a relaxed family meal.

The menu works well for sharing, with familiar flavours alongside dishes that feel a little more special. It is a simple way to enjoy eating out together without the usual end-of-month expense, and the discount makes it easier to include the whole family.

Bookings must be made by 31 January to secure the offer.
