What can we do with the kids in Kent this weekend?

From theatre performances to character trails, there is plenty happening as we head towards the end of the week.

And as it's the last weekend of half term before the kids return to school, see it out with a bang thanks to one of our seven suggestions.

Scroll down to see what's happening in Kent over the coming days:

1) Red Riding Hood & The Wolf, Folkestone Quarterhouse

Wednesday, February 14 until Sunday, February 18

Time for bed. Tuck yourself in. This is where Robyn’s story begins. She takes a book and starts to read. But she can’t relate to Red Riding Hood, sugar and spice and all things nice. There are two sides to every tale, and that is not how this one goes! Little Angel Theatre presents 10-year-old Robyn's version of Red Riding Hood and the Wolf for half term, a performance suitable for those aged seven and up.

For tickets and more details visit quarterhouse.co.uk or call 01303 760750.

2) Half term activities, Hop Farm Family Park, near Paddock Wood

All weekend

This half term there will be rides and inflatables, plus a 4D cinema as well as the driving school and giant jumping pillows at this popular Kent attraction. Running until Sunday, February 18, there’s also plenty of warm indoor areas where you can find face painting and magic shows to end the half term break. The fun runs from 10am until 4pm. For details go to thehopfarm.co.uk

3) Bluewater Shopping Centre, Greenhithe

Hot foot it down to Bluewater to find the Early Man tribe this weekend. Search for 12 prehistoric characters from the film using a trail map available from the concierge desk outside M&S on the lower mall. There's a prize at the end if you can complete the trail while anyone in the Greenhithe centre earlier in the week can call into clay modelling workshops based on the film which run until Thursday, February 15.

The wisecracking, adventurous spirit of Indiana Jones runs amok in this computer animated film by Spanish directors Enrique Gato and David Alonso.
