Beat the January blues and get out and about with your family this month without breaking the budget.
Every where we go we hear people saying the same thing... they are broke. December pay day seems such a long time ago and some how they've got to entertain their children on a show string budget.
Not to worry we are here to help...
We've highlighted some of our favourite Free or Budget friendly activities locally (some slightly further afield) to help you out this January.
Most things are Free with everything being under £5.50.
First things first you don't actually need to go out! There's much to be said for staying home with a DVD or Netflix or digging out that craft box or playing a family board game.
We know that going on a FREE ACTIVITY does not guarantee you will get away without spending any money , food, travel, parking they can all add up but here are our 5 top tips to spend less on family activities.
Theres much to be said for a trip to a good old park so wrap up warm , put on those wellies, grab those bikes or scooters, a flask and a picnic and head off on an adventure.
Panshanger (keep an eye out for the fairy doors!)
100 Akre Woods at Aldenham County Park
The main one being Hertford Museum of course!
But there is also Bishop Stortford museum
Mill Green Museum - open sunday pm (small fee)
Cedars Nature Centre - is amazing and only £2.40 pp
Pets corner Harlow - a new amazing park has just been built by the toilet block too
RSPB Rye Meads Nature Reserve - Free entry but there is a parking charge.
Parndon woods - one of our favourites - we love the den building area!
We hope you enjoy this article and that you find it useful. If we've missed anything off the list do feel free to let us know.
