October half term breaks
16th October - 31st October 2026
This October half term, escape to the north Cornwall coast for a family break filled with fresh sea air, autumn adventure and plenty of Halloween fun. Set overlooking Fistral Beach, The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay is the perfect base for making the most of the season, with space to play and time to unwind.
Enjoy FREE October half term activities to keep little ones smiling, including pumpkin painting, Halloween arts and crafts, music, movies and more. And for an extra dose of seasonal fun, don’t miss the spooktacular Halloween party on Saturday 31st October, with fancy dress encouraged!
Spend your days exploring sandy beaches, setting off on the South West Coast Path right from our front door and discovering some of Cornwall’s best-loved family attractions, all within easy reach.
Back at the hotel, warm up with a dip in the indoor swimming pool, settle in for a film in the in-house cinema and enjoy relaxed family games in the sea-view lounge. When it’s time to eat, dine overlooking the waves in Cove Restaurant, where the adjoining play area gives little ones space to let off steam while grown-ups sit back and enjoy the view.
