Go Swimming
Whatever the weather outside it doesn’t matter when you go swimming! Swimming is great exercise and an essential life skill to teach your children. It’s also an affordable activity as many swimming pools are council run with reasonable prices, plus many have slides and flumes for extra fun day out.

Lantern Trail
The darker nights do have some benefits, illumination events! Breath taking sets and floats are lighting up parks all around the UK, get your steps in and watch your children’s face light up at the magic walking around the installations.

Bring on the Bikes
