Fun days out with young children

Following on from my post about Baby and Toddler Groups in the area, some people said "but what about weekends?”

It’s a shame that the same type of groups aren’t around on the weekends or outside of term time, probably because they’re unable to provide activites for school aged children who may come along. Can’t face going to the park again this Saturday?

I’ve put together a list to spark some inspiration to entertain the whole family on the weekend that are suitable for under 5’s.

Going to the park, Swimming, Bowling, Cinema, Trampoline Park (Oxygen/Airhop), Geocaching, A litter pick/Treasure Hunt always makes my children more excited to get out for a walk. We’re so lucky to be surrounded by some amazing countryside, why not just set out with a bag of snacks and see where you end up?
