If you want a holiday but worried about not being able to afford one in the school holidays then why not consider booking a weekend away and coming back early (leave Friday after school and come back Sunday night). It is also worth considering if you have any Friday or Monday inset days in those periods too.
The Sun £9.50 Holidays started again today and if you are worried about the excess costs then take a look at these offers where you will pay no more than £9.50 per person (minimum of 4 people sharing) = £38.60. That is NO service charge and NO charge for entertainment passes – which give you access to all the swimming pools, bars, arcades and other entertainment (be aware that some entertainments may require an additional charge, or be at times when they may be shut). If you look at the cost of going swimming alone for even 2 of those days you can see what a bargain price these holidays are.
You may want to have a break close to home or go and explore somewhere further afield.
You can discover places such as
Prittlewell Priory
Lee Valley Park, Waltham Abbey, Essex

I have NO affiliation with The Sun Newspaper. Nor do I agree with Page 3. However, I do appreciate how these breaks may be the only way some families can afford a holiday of any description.

Thank you for sharing, we have had several of these holidays in the past and they are great. I can vouch for the Great Yarmouth sites (plus you could all visit me!)
Fabulous post Joy – it’s great to see all the options too. Really good idea for making holidays more affordable. My in-laws live in Suffolk, lovely part of the world. So nice seeing more of your blog lovely 🙂
I’m always suspicious of these offers – believing there must be a catch. Good to know that there are many which are ACTUALLY £9.50 per person. Will definitely make me check them out in future.
Is there any guaranteed £38 holidays in Wales ?
I shall just do a post for you now 🙂
