Tips

Book well ahead for great deals on campsites, holiday parks and cottages – or butch it out for a fantastic last-minute discount.
 
Reward yourself for a week or two’s camping or other self-catering holiday with a splurge at a swanky family-friendly hotel.
 
Combine a city break with a few days at the seaside, or a trip to a theme-park, to keep things interesting for all the family.
 
Check attractions’ websites for online booking discounts or use money-off vouchers (from supermarkets or often found in tourist offices and at holiday park receptions) – a couple of days out can seriously stretch your budget.
 
Get National Trust family membership for money-off access to a huge range of family-friendly historic sites around the UK, plus other perks.
 
Research an area’s free attractions before visiting – you may be pleasantly surprised by how much you can do without spending any money. And find out about local goings-on that may be of interest – Whatsonwhen is a good source of information.
 
Take picnics out with you to save money, especially at theme-parks where food is often expensive and poor-quality.
 
Do your homework when it comes to great places to eat out – it’s a shame to rush into the first place you see then find out there was a much better place just around the corner.
 
Find a local food delivery service and take advantage of regional farm produce and small-scale suppliers to feed into the economy of your destination.
