Full of great venues and great ideas, from sport to leisure to (cover their eyes and ears) educational and specialist day-trips, this is a section that will make their lives more fun and make your life positively bearable.

And with events like ice skating, bowling, wildlife parks, a visit to the circus, mountain-biking to name but a few…you might actually get to like having the kids for the day.

Am I the only one who can’t believe I just said that?
