With the school holidays well underway, parents across Nottinghamshire will be asking themselves how to entertain the kids for the next few weeks.
The county and neighbouring areas are blessed with plenty of activities for kids and family days out, so here are our suggestions for a summer of fun.
From days out at Wollaton Hall to out-of-this-world adventures at the National Space Centre, this is your ultimate guide to family days out.
Whatever the weather, there’s an activity for you and your little ones to enjoy. Some will require a car or train journey and others are just a stone’s throw from home!
