cheap holiday for October half term

Having had to work through the summer holidays, have booked October half term off and would love to be able to take the kids away. Does anybody know of any cheap package deals for the week of 22nd October, or is there no chance!

    would be flying from Stanstead, 2 adults and kids aged 11 & 13, don't really mind what board basis. Would have liked to keep it under £1000 but having never taken a holiday in school holidays not sure if that is possible.
