Favourite places in Scunthorpe
Although Scunthorpe is not on our doorstep, we find ourselves going fairly often. As well as visiting a few shops, we love Vue Cinema here and it’s so convenient with multistorey parking which comes straight out to where the cinema is (level 2) and parking is free if you are visiting Vue. Scunthorpe Central Library…

Favourite places in Brigg
Brigg is a lovely market town in North Lincolnshire. It has numerous cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops and a canal to walk along. My favourite places are: The Heritage Centre and library If you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids for a couple of hours this is a great find. The Heritage Centre, located at…

Tattershall Castle
We had another free day out at a National Trust in November. It was by signing up to ‘In Your Area’ app. We decided to use it for Tattershall Castle, one of the National Trusts in Lincolnshire. We met some family there and took a picnic despite it not being very warm. There were picnic…

The Workhouse and Infirmary National Trust, Southwell
We had a free trip to a National Trust property, using their autumn free pass. A friend recommended here and since it was a fair drive I was a bit concerned it may not go down as well as some others such as Belton House or Nostell because it doesn’t have an adventure playground but…

Nostell, Yorkshire
We visited Nostell near Wakefield with a free National Trust ticket through Sky with some family. It was a fair drive but there aren’t many in Lincolnshire! Normally it would cost £30 for a family ticket. We started by looking around Nostell Priory which was interesting. They had lots of tour guides who were very…

North Lincolnshire Museum
We love going to museums in our family and the fact that they are often free is an added bonus, especially in the summer holidays when you may be trying to make your money stretch. It was our first visit to the North Lincolnshire Museum and I took my youngest two and we met some…

Lincoln Castle
We had some friends visiting from the South and chose Lincoln Castle as a meeting place for their way up, and thought all the children (from 3 to 16) would enjoy it, as well as the adults! It’s somewhere we’ve been wanting to visit since we moved to Lincolnshire so it was great to finally…

Cambridge
We decided to stay in a hotel near Legoland the night before our latest Legoland trip so we could get there early and make the most of the day. Cambridge seemed like a good place to stop on the way to the hotel in order to have a full day the day before too. We…

National Space Centre
As a family we are pretty keen on science-related days out so we were looking forward to this one! The National Space Centre in Leicester was quite a long way to go (over an hour and a half each way) but was worth it. We got our toddler into his pyjamas for the way home…

Magna Science Adventure Centre
A great day out at Magna! We went when one of the four pavilions (the Air Pavilion) was closed so we got 20% discount. The cost for our family of five was £53. I thought this was great value for our day. We were there for four hours in total which included time to eat…
