With the second week of the school holidays upon us, the challenge of finding ways to occupy and entertain children that doesn’t include hours on screens whilst not sending you broke in the process becomes harder.
However, there are plenty of free or low-cost events for families to enjoy together in the next week or so. Below is a few suggestions of activities and things to get you started and I am sure you will find even more to do beyond this list.
