Christmas Day
New Year’s Day
Chinese New Year
Valentine’s Day
St David’s Day
Shrove Tuesday
Mother’s Day
St Patrick’s Day

Is this a wide enough range do you think? Any major ones I've missed out?

Thanks

I would go through and look at the 12 months of the year.

You need a spread of activities... make up a calendar and see where everything fits.

Also find out about local events and things the children celebrate / mark / do at home.

Hth :D
