Get your own taxi driver for the day
Time to put your feet up, and let someone else take over the taxi service on a family day out on-board the Severn Valley Railway. This 16-mile long heritage railway will take you through the stunning Shropshire countryside on fabulous historic trains. For the kids, take part in one of SVR’s many special events including the Ghost Trains in October. You’ll pass through haunted stations, and the kids will be treated to a Halloween goodie bag for their bravery!

Let the kids run wild at Hoo Farm

For a wild day out, spend the day as a zoo keeper and meet a huge variety of animals. You’ll meet them, feed them and get to know all about them!
Skip the tent in the back garden
Whether the kids want to camp in the back garden on their own, or they want you to squeeze in with them, it’s not the most exciting adventure for you. So why not book yourself an overnight glamping experience? Choose from yurts, cabins and pods which the kids will love! Don’t worry about the cooler weather, nearly all come with a log burner to keep you cosy.
