Competition – win 5 annual passes to Thorpe Park worth £290

The long summer school holidays are coming up and this can be a difficult time for both parents and children, especially if you’re a single parent family.

Now I’m newly single again, negotiating six weeks of childcare time is going to be even harder than usual. I try to keep other school holidays as work free as possible but doing next to no work for six weeks just isn’t realistic with one income. Luckily Belle is now old enough to pretty much entertain herself, but it still means six weeks of trying to prise the iPad out of her hands while she’s sat in front of the TV with half a loaf of brioche balanced precariously on the arm of the sofa.

As a single parent who works from home, knowing how much time you really can spend working over the summer is tricky. If you work too much, you lose out on quality time with your children and they will inevitably get bored and restless as soon as you aren’t giving them your undivided attention. Sending them away to a camp or an activity day while you work costs so much these days that sometimes it hardly seems worth it and I feel as though I may as well have written off working altogether and watched TV with Belle under her blanket.

On days where I have time to take Belle out, it’s a whole other summer holiday hurdle trying to work out where to go and what to do. If you have children of different ages it can be a nightmare trying to find something that appeals to the whole family that isn’t Burger King. Belle enjoys most days out we have but trying to think of original activities is not my strong point. You all know how I feel about organised crafts. Most childhood memories are created in the summer holidays, so having at least a few memorable days out each summer is really important.

If you’re not planning any holidays abroad or you just fancy a nice treat, Thorpe Park is a great place to take kids of all ages for a fun day out and some memories. Thorpe Park boasts rides suitable for everyone from the Saw ride and other super-fast rollercoasters, to the little train ride which Bee and Belle had the most fun on together when we went last summer. Plus of course there is the new Angry Birds Land, which is proving popular with kids of all ages…

If you fancy going but you’re a bit strapped for cash this summer, never fear! I’m giving away 5 free entry passes worth £58 each, so £290 in total, for one lucky family to enjoy. All you have to do is enter using the Rafflecopter for your chance to win. Good luck!

    a day out to the beach

    • 5 June, 2014 / 2:12 pm

      I love to climb a mountain with a view – not too high so my children can do it too. Picnic with egg sandwiches and home baked cakes on top. Great sense of achievement and a nice fun work-out. A cute family pub close to the descent that serves seafood caught in the ocean that was visible from our climb. Bliss.

    My little boy loves Thomas Land and I love watching him laughing his little off on the rides. But anywhere outside (if the weather isn’t too bad) makes me happy. He has autism and so is normally bouncing off the walls by day two of the summer holidays. Fingers crossed we get a sunny summer!!! :)

    We are lucky enough to be in a city but still very close to the coast so lots to do in the summer! Especially love a day at the beach, pack up a picnic and away we go. A day of fresh air and fun and it’s free! We do try to do Chessington once a year in August so I think my daughter would love Thorpe Park now she is a bit older. Plus it is only a 10 minute drive from my folks!

  32. 5 June, 2014 / 6:39 pm

    Mine is very simple – a picnic in the local park for free – a blanket, food and sunshine! Lovely!

    A great Family day out to the coast. Not living more than 45 minutes run to the South Coast beaches is great and little stress even on busy days. We can also take the dog, packed lunch and as many outdoor toys as we can fit in the car.

    At the end of the car a slap up fish and chip supper for all, while the little man falls asleep in the back of the car during the ride home… exhausted.

    9 June, 2014 / 6:30 pm

    Our favourite type of day out is to spend the day at the local lakes- there are beautiful walks, bike trials, nature hideouts, assault courses, play areas, a cafe and an indoor discovery centre- a brilliant way to spend a day and with a bit of organisation and a good picnic it comes in at less than £6 for a day out for all the family- bargain!

    What a great competition! My favourite summer day out is a lovely walk around Regent’s Park in London and a picnic, watching my cheeky 3 year old daughter feeding the ducks and going ‘quack quack!’ at them. A sunny day, lovely food and the look of excitement on her face is hard to beat.

    This may sound quite revolting… we have a sewage treatment centre quite close to us. It was constructed in open land. The surrounding area is beautiful! Safe for the children to run about. No traffic… beside farm land. Inhabited by the most amazing wildlife…and best of all it is free.

  201. Anne Wallwin

    Favourite day out is Druridge Bay country Park, there’s a great walk round the lake including stepping stones, or you could cycle instead, an option on feeding the ducks and then you can go onto the beach for a picnic, and it has a visitors centre for coffee, cake and toilets. Just petrol and car parking to pay.

    If it rains, soft play but they’re getting a bit big so maybe a train ride on one of the steam railways

    My favourite summery day is one that is spent on a sandy beach with the family. Whether it’s building castles in the sand, splashing in the waves or grabbing a sneaky break to sit and enjoy a book, I love nothing better, and what’s more, it doesn’t have to cost anything more than perhaps the cost of the car park and an ice cream or two!
