If you’re a parent in lockdown, there’s a good chance that you’re juggling home-schooling, working from home, AND soon enough, you’ll have to entertain the kids during the school holidays. Merlin Entertainments is here to the rescue these school holidays, with the launch of Holiday Heroes Hub, the ultimate superhero school holiday online destination to save the day these school holidays!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Holiday Heroes! Every day throughout the September holidays, let the Holiday Heroes Hub knock out boredom with a range of activities to keep the kids entertained, and out of your hair!
