Making the most of the summer

Summer is almost here - time to start planning fun family activities!

Book it!

Most venues will have a booking system to avoid overcrowding and to ensure Covid-compliance. Book and arrive early.

Less is more.

Don’t over schedule. You will have become accustomed to less stimulation. Brainstorm quieter places to visit, or plan events on alternate days/weekends.

Don’t forget the food….

Don’t get stuck in long food queues. Hungry kids and ‘hangry’ parents don’t mix. Take a packed lunch and snacks.

Enjoy the spontaneous.

After months of restrictions, embrace spontaneity again. Why not take a day trip to the seaside or visit somewhere new?

Half term highlights

Go to a movie. Get lost in another world as cinemas reopen. There are lots of new films due for release this month.

Visit museums and galleries

Why not research a weird and wonderful museum like the Dog Collar Museum in Leeds Castle to visit? It’s perfect for all dog lovers!

Take a day trip

Head off the beaten track. You could visit stunning lavender fields in the Surrey Downs or the Yorkshire Sculpture Park?

Go to a local event
