Family Breaks - Some great ideas for winter
Outside of the summer holidays it can be difficult to find
quality entertainment for the children when they are off school.
When it is cold and wet sticking them out in the garden isn't
really an option, which means they are charging around the house
causing mayhem. During the summer months there is a host of
opportunities available to parents but as the weather closes in
these choices become more limited.
However, just before you find the boarding school application
forms there are still some activities out there that will
certainly capture your children's attention - without breaking
the bank.

This ever-popular event is a firm family favourite and this year
should prove to be extra special as Legoland celebrates the end
of its tenth season. The firework show really is spectacular
with guests able to cheer on heroic Vikings as they journey on
land and sea, through myth and legend, battling dragons and
monsters. The show culminates in a gripping battle of good
versus evil in this amazing pyrotechnic display.
The show is a wonderful finally to a great day out for the
family who can enjoy five new attractions and three brand new
rides in the Windsor park. For those not with in easy reach of
the park, there is some excellent ticket plus accommodation
packages available with short break specialists

Two for one at Alton Towers!
Alton Towers is a fantastic venue for a weekend break for all
the family...and for the last days of the season you can pay for
one day and get the second one free. Alton Towers is the UK's
greatest theme park, home to legendary thrills like Oblivion,
Nemesis and Air - and now, new this year, Rita - Queen of Speed.
