Short Family Breaks

Finding family-friendly short breaks that accommodate larger families can be a challenge. However, opting for a glamping experience can be a practical solution. These outdoor getaways typically offer spacious accommodations, making them ideal for families of all sizes. With a focus on comfort and convenience, glamping provides a balance between the simplicity of camping and the comfort of traditional lodging, ensuring an enjoyable and hassle-free retreat for everyone.

A yurt stay for example, that can accommodate 6 people, can make a fabulous short family break, especially if spending time outdoors is a priority for you. Taking time out in a rural location allows you and the whole family to switch off and enjoy quality time (instead of screen time!) in each others company.

Why Spending Time Together As A Family Is So Important

It's easy to take family members for granted, especially as life can get so busy, but it's vital to make time to spend together. Spending time together as a family strengthens relationships so you understand each other better and can support each other when times get tough.

Packing up the car and heading off for on a short break gives everyone something to look forward to.

If you're looking for inspiration on what to do on a family break, take a look at some of our favourites:

  • Cadbury World: Located in Birmingham, Cadbury World is a family favourite attraction. Dive into a world of chocolate and learn how famous sweets are made, make (and sample!) your own tasty treats as well as enjoying 4D theatre shows.
  • Sea Life Aquarium: Discover the secrets of the deep blue sea and all the creatures that call it home with a visit to a Sea Life centre. Kids young and old will love spotting sharks, jellyfish and giant sea turtles.
  • Bear Grylls Adventure: If your family loves a challenge, you'll love taking on the high ropes, archery, snorkelling, and even a shark dive and indoor skydiving!
     
  • Shrek's Adventure!: Fans young and old of Shrek will love being whisked away into Far Far Away, meeting all characters including Donkey, Cinderella, Pinocchio and the Muffin Man.
