Have a dad-tastic Father's Day

This year Father’s Day falls on the 18th June which feels like forever away but will be here sooner than you think! Here are a couple of ideas to help inspire you and give your dad/step-dad/grandad/uncle/father figure a great day. So, whether you want to go all out and treat them or you’re celebrating on a budget, there is something for everyone here.

Breakfast in bed

One way to show your dad how much you appreciate him is by waking him up with a lovingly prepared breakfast. If you’re doing some cooking, make sure any youngsters are supervised to avoid accidents but we’re sure dad will appreciate some toast or cereal just the same!

Host a BBQ

If your dads are anything like ours, then they love BBQ-ing, so if you have access to some outdoor space, let them grill away to their heart’s content!

Go on a bike ride

In June the weather is usually fairly warm and dry, so head outdoors and enjoy a bike ride together. This area is full of great cycle routes to explore and even if you don’t have your own bikes, there are loads of places you can hire a set of wheels for the day. There are even adapted bikes available so everyone can join in!

Have an indoor picnic

Again, good weather in June so you could have a picnic out in nature together but if you don’t have access to outdoor space, an indoor picnic is just as fun! Rearrange some furniture, make a blanket fort, tell some stories and enjoy tasty snacks together.

Reminisce together

If you have any photo albums of times gone by, go through them with your dad and get them talking about their childhood and any fun stories they may have to share. It’s a great way to learn more about each other and to bond.
