It’s been a remarkably warm and sunny spring but the rain has hit again this week while children are off for the week.
Whether you’re looking for fun activities or educational trips to enjoy with the children this week though, we’ve got you covered.
There are a good number of special events and activities going on during the week as well, meaning you don’t have to get trapped indoors at home.
Check out our gallery below of recommendations and options. And don’t forget to take your coat!
