With the current weather in the UK, it may seem like the summer is a million miles away. However, it is only a matter of weeks now before it is the end of term 3 and the long-anticipated summer break arrives. Therefore, it is important to plan ahead to ensure that six-week break is enjoyable and as meaningful as possible. The first thing you need to do in any holiday planning is check your diary or calendar, to make sure you don’t have any immovable events booked in, the last thing you want is lots of double bookings.
When it comes to the planning stage you can very much tailor your break to suit your budget, in the current climate it is often not be feasible for your family to travel abroad and but not to worry, a well-planned staycation can be just as exciting. Leeds is a huge city and there is often something cultural taking place every weekend/holidays. These are usually free events taking place in your local park or community hub. Try to keep an eye out for local activities in the Yorkshire Evening Post or The Leeds Guide. For activities further afield check out the Days Out In England website, here you will find a number of activities in all of England’s major cities. Once you have a list of activities that you feel would be suitable for your family, you need to sit down together and agree what you would like to do. The summer can become very long if you don’t have plans in place, give your family the best option of getting out and about during the summer and spending some quality time together.
