What to do this August Bank Holiday weekend
The new school term is fast approaching, and before you know it, your little ones will be back in the classroom, swapping summer adventures for pencil cases and homework. But before we dive into timetables and packed lunches, there’s one last golden opportunity to squeeze out every drop of fun - the August Bank Holiday weekend! ☀️
We’ve pulled together a bunch of bright, joy-filled ideas to get your Little Hotdogs outside, exploring, laughing, and making the kind of memories that will keep them smiling well into Autumn. Whether you’re in the mood for a full day out or just a few hours of fresh air, here are some family-friendly adventures to inspire you:
Mini Festival 🕺
Seek out a local family-friendly festival where there’s music, games, and tasty food to enjoy. Look for places with children’s workshops, face painting, and dancing — the perfect mix to keep everyone entertained from toddlers to teens.

Day Trip 🍃
Hop on a train, bus or take a stroll to somewhere you don’t usually go. Explore a seaside town, a nature reserve, or a quirky museum. Pack a picnic, a blanket, and of course your Little Hotdog Watson hat!
Scavenger Hunt 🗺️
Turn a walk in the park or woods into a game by making a scavenger hunt list. Spot a red leaf, find a heart-shaped stone, or listen for a woodpecker — kids love a challenge, and you’ll be amazed at the details they notice!
