Summer activities for kids

We all love the summer – what’s not to like about sunshine, barbecues and holidays?

But sometimes it can be hard to think of ways to keep the kids occupied during the long summer months, especially when school has broken up.

We’re here to help with our round-up of great activities for families in your area.

If you’re looking for trustworthy summer childcare to look after the kids while you’re at work, search our guide to find holiday clubs, camps and play schemes operating near you.

If you’re trying to find places to cool off, browse our directory for paddling pools, splash parks and open-air swimming pools.

You’ll also find details of special summer events for kids, such as play days in local parks, carnivals and festivals.

There’s something for every family – and for all weather conditions – so search our listings now and be inspired.
