A survey from Yoto has revealed that kids’ boredom peaks just a few weeks after the school summer holidays start. The poll, which spoke to 1,000 parents of school-aged children, reveals that during the break, parents spend around £312 on activities, with 55% feeling overwhelmed over the summer holidays.
We all know it’s hard to keep the kids entertained while keeping things affordable, but that being said, Verdant Leisure’s Thurston Manor Leisure Park is offering affordable breaks for families, with prices as low as £29.68 per person per night.
The park features an action-packed range of activities, perfect for a summer break, such as an indoor pool and entertainment complex, as well as a jampacked summer entertainment schedule including:
- Sunrise mornings – Dino Discover
- Make-a-bear
- Super Slime Time
- Bingo Beatz
- Visiting Production Show
- Late-night disco vibes
- Pizza Party
- Over 18’s cash bingo
The park can be found in the stunning countryside of Dunbar, under an hour’s drive away from Edinburgh and under two hours from Glasgow. Dunbar itself has a wide range of family attractions to visit this summer – from private Alpaca walks to Victoria Harbour, Dunbar Castle and East Links Family Park – there’s plenty to keep everyone in the family entertained.
Thurston Manor boasts a range of family-friendly facilities to keep the kids happy, including:
- Indoor heated pool and gym
- Pet-friendly accommodation, bars and restaurants
- Family-friendly bars and restaurants serving home-cooked food with a range of choices for vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free options
- Outdoor play area and amusement arcade
- Fly fishing lake
Described by the Cowie Family on a recent Trip Advisor review as ‘An amazing family break’, the family honestly praised the friendly staff, warm atmosphere and entertainment.
