Rainy Day Activities For Families

    Here are a few rainy-day activities for families when the weather doesn’t cooperate while you’re away. From museums, indoor swimming pools, games, picnics and cinema trips, we cover lots of options!

    There are many unique museums and art galleries across the UK.

    From the Lake District’s Pencil Museum to the House of Marbles in Devon, the traditional galleries of the British Museum, and one of the Tate galleries, there are exhibitions for everyone to enjoy.

    Cinema Trip

    Who can resist a couple of hours in a dark room, on a comfy seat with your favourite snacks and drinks while you watch the latest film?

    Try one of the independent cinemas that show arthouse and foreign-language films for something a little less mainstream.

    Rainy Day Indoor Picnic

    Is the rain coming down and no one fancies leaving the caravan? Why not have an indoor picnic? Spread out a blanket in your caravan and enjoy some snacks and drinks.

    Board Games and Card Games

    Play board games or card games. There are plenty of great board games and card games that you can play as a family. This is a great way to bond and have some fun. Many caravans have them available for you to use, or pack a few in the boot, just in case they are needed!

    Get the Umbrellas Out

    Go for a rainy walk – the kids will love splashing in puddles and catching raindrops. 

    Explore the rugged coastline and charming villages with your furry adventurer while staying in pet-friendly accommodation.

    Tell a Story

    Sit back, relax in your cosy static caravan, and get lost in the magic of stories with the little ones

    This is a great way to build their creativity while bonding as a family.

    Take turns telling stories or reading aloud from a book.
