Seasonal and Special Activities For Kids Near You

We love any excuse to get out and about with our kids, and luckily, we’re spoilt for choice with a huge range of special activities for children taking place year-round, in every corner of the UK.

If you’re looking for inspiration for things to do with your child, you’re in the right place: we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to the seasonal events happening near you, from Easter egg hunts to Halloween trails, to Santa’s grottos and more.

We’ve also got great ideas of things to do in the school holidays, with many family attractions running special events outside of term-time.

You’ll also find details of attractions with special sessions dedicated to children with different needs: the autism-friendly shows, relaxed openings and SEN sessions that can prove invaluable to parents looking for something a bit more relaxed for their child.

Whatever the season or reason, and whatever your child’s age, abilities and stage, we’ll help you find ways to make the most of your family days out.
