Top 4 cheap family weekend breaks in England this summer

Looking for something to do with the kids this summer with a bit of relaxation for yourselves too? Voucher Butler has these handy suggestions for cheap family weekend breaks that won’t break the bank and are guaranteed to entertain you and thrill your kids.

Alton Towers

Billed as a massive theme park for adrenaline junkies, Alton Towers has long offered some of the UK’s best rides. Whilst big rides like the new Galactica are sure to be a big draw, there is plenty going on within the Theme Park and in the surrounding area to make Alton Towers a great weekend break for the whole family. Aside from the superb roller-coasters and rides for all ages, Alton Towers offers 3D Films viewings, outstanding live shows, CBBC World for the little ones, Tree Top Quest for the aspiring monkeys, Extraordinary golf and a huge water-park. Staying on site means you’ll beat the queues and run your weekend at your own rhythm. Splash Landings Hotel is ideally situated for the water-park and the classic Alton Towers Hotel also offers comfortable rooms. For those who want to do something a bit different and immerse themselves in the magic, there is the luxury Tree Top Lodgings, themed rooms and lodges available at the enchanted village.

Alton Towers can also be a great base for a broader experience. Located in the Midlands, between Derby and Stoke-on-Trent, the park is right at the foot of the Peak District, so beautiful walks and stunning scenery are only a short drive away. Nottingham is nearby too, so a visit to Sherwood Forest is also another great visit for the kids to re-enact their favourite Robin Hood scenes.

LEGOLAND Windsor

Kids just love Lego, and what better place to take them than Legoland so they can meet their heroes at full size and have a fun weekend out? There’s so much at Legoland to keep the kids entertained. They can hop into a Lego car and show the adults how it is done, getting their own Lego Driving Licence. Get lost and found again in Loki’s labyrinth, download themselves into an incredible digital 4D experience as a Nexo Knight, get a thrill whizzing around the family-friendly Dragon ride and discover the stunning submerged lost city of Atlantis in a Lego Submarine. It’s worth bringing your swimmers too and crossing your fingers for some good summer sun with the awe-inspiring Duplo Drench Towers which boast the UK’s biggest outdoor water structure. To make a proper weekend of it, why not enchant them with magical themed rooms at the Lego Resort Hotel which caters for the aspiring pirates, and adventure enthusiasts alike. If being in the park the whole weekend doesn’t appeal then there are plenty of other local hotel options in the Windsor area to suit every type of budget.

To broaden the weekend, why not take a family walk around the beautiful town of Windsor and enjoy a lunch or ice-cream by the river? The charming town is overlooked by the stunning Windsor Castle which is a wonderful afternoon or whole day’s entertainment to learn and recapture a sense of medieval England’s glorious past. Nearby, royal residence Frogmore House is also a real treat for visitors if you can catch it during its brief visitor opening season.
