The kids are off school next week and because a week’s skiing isn’t an option for most, Ellie O’Byrne checks out fun and cheap day trips that will keep them off screens

With the midterm looming, how will you keep your kids entertained? Activity camps are great but if you have a large family they can be expensive. With the days lengthening and Spring making an appearance, switching off screens and getting out and about is definitely on the cards.

You don’t need lots of money to have fun: there are plenty of activities to engage children and keep them occupied for little or no cash.

Your own enthusiasm is infectious and with a little research you can find outings and activities that will be enjoyable for the whole family.
