Things To Do This Week: Half Term Plans, Pancake Day Activities, Plus a Farmers Market on Sunday!
Morning! Half term is here, with activities all week and a full run of kids bits at the Market Hall, plus Pancake Day fun on Tuesday. Evenings are busy too, with comedy for £3 and two candlelit concerts at the Cathedral. Sunday finishes it off with the Farmers’ Market for a calm wander and a bag full of good stuff.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP
🥪 - Little Vics Deli - The Lunch You’ll Text Someone About 5 Minutes In
📍- Victoria St
📅 - Mon - Fri 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM
📅 - Sat 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
📷 - @littlevicsdeli
Ever bitten into a sandwich and immediately started planning who needs to hear about it? Little Vics is a new spot in town, and it’s going big from day one with artisan bread, hefty fillings, and menu names that sound like they belong on a New York street corner. New York Dip is the headline act, plus pesto chicken, hot honey ranch, and falafel and slaw that holds its own.
ACTIVITY ALLEY
🧗- Derbion Climbing Wall - Half Term Climb Session For The “I’m Bored” Brigade
📍- Derbion
📅 - Mon 16th Feb to Fri 20th Feb
⏰ - 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
🎟️ - £3 per child
👶 - Age 5+
📷 - @_derbion @otwcamp
Need a half term plan that burns off some steam without rinsing your wallet? Derbion’s got a 5.5 metre climbing wall running all week. Kids get a timed slot to scramble, climb, and feel like action heroes. You get a breather and the satisfaction of saying it’s “a character building activity” instead of “please stop climbing the sofa”.
FRESH EXPERIENCES
🎉 - Bongo’s Bingo - Bingo With Rave Breaks and Prizes!
📍- Vaillant Live
📅 - Sat 21st Feb
⏰ - 6:30 PM (last entry 7:30 PM) | First game 8:00 PM
🎟️ - From £19
📷 - @bongosbingo @vaillantlive
This isn’t “quietly dabbing numbers with your nan”. It’s bingo, dance offs, rave intervals, and crowd participation that turns strangers into teammates for the night. The prizes are unhinged too, Henry Hoovers, giant unicorns, karaoke machines, even a mobility scooter turning up like it owns the place.
