Finding the idea of six weeks off school with the kids a tad overwhelming? Don’t worry, you’re not alone and there’s lots to do in Leeds and the north for families. Enjoy a Lotherton Summer Holiday, with six weeks of fun, including a whole host of children’s entertainment, crafts, activities, a sandpit and a family trail – and thankfully a cafe with lots of delicious coffee options for parents.

There’s something different taking place each day – on Sundays you can ease into the week ahead with Live Music from 2pm. Enjoy fun vibes, sunshine (hopefully), and a rare moment to sit still. On Mondays dance fanatics will enjoy the Dance Pop-ups, Tuesdays see the magic and circus shows, and on Wednesdays science lovers will enjoy Sublime Science, where fizzy experiments and giggling chaos collide. The legendary Punch & Judy with Professor Dan will be taking place on Thursdays – classic slapstick, silly antics, and yes… that’s the way to do it!

And don’t miss the Deer Tractor Tours, back by popular demand and giving families a gentle ride through the Deer Park. It’s a chance to spot red deer up close while quietly pretending you’re on safari.

Please note, some activities, like crafts and tractor trailer rides require an additional cost. Come along and make some memories with your families (and possibly lose a flip-flop in the sandpit).
