Hit refresh this May half term

Ah, May – the month of al fresco dinner dates, sunny strolls, iced coffee catch-ups, feel-good films, wedding wow-fits and all-out newness. From breakfast ‘til bedtime, here are five fun ways to hit refresh with the fam this half term at Westwood Cross.

1. Adrenaline rush!

Vue is alight this month with scene-sational new showings for the whole family, including Marvel’s new masterpiece, Thunderbolts, and the highly anticipated Lilo & Stitch! Looking for something more action-packed? You can put a spring in your step at Jump Inc, or indulge in some competitive fun at Hollywood Bowl. And keep an eye on our offers page for special half term deals, too!

2. Go on a dino adventure

Swap your shopping bags for a roarsome walk on the wild side. The Westwood Cross dinosaurs are back and waiting to be discovered across the centre. They're here until late summer – can you find them all?

3. Style refresh: sorted!

New season staples have landed at New Look, Next, and River Island – and our wardrobes are about to thank us. Think ballet-core meets sharp blazers, babydoll dresses, breezy PJ trousers, and oversized totes. It’s all about structured comfort this summer.

4. A night off (and out!)

With lighter evenings and sunset hour in full swing, there’s no better time for a dinner date. Book a table for two at Ask Italian or Riparo Lounge and explore their fresh new spring menus. Want to dial it up? Thai Village brings bold Asian flavours and knockout cocktails.

5. Get outdoors!

Half term is the perfect excuse to stretch your legs and soak up the great British outdoors. Whether it’s a breezy walk along Botany Bay, spotting bluebells in the Kent Downs or pitching up for a weekend of camping near Canterbury, Mountain Warehouse has everything you need. From raincoats and walking boots to tents and torches, get the whole family adventure-ready in one stop.
