What's on this Summer Holidays

Cherwell Boathouse, Near Oxford

Dear Robin

The summer holidays are nearly here, weeks of family fun ahead and the chance to spend time together, exploring new places and trying new things.

Come and spend time in South East England and celebrate the world's most recognisable and loved plants in West Sussex or get up close and personal with amazing dinosaurs built from hundreds of toy bricks in Reading.

Enjoy some on the water fun punting in Oxford or an outdoor adventure with a tour of the National Fruit Collection in Kent. Marvel at a very special sculpture exhibition in the New Forest or delve into the spirit of 1066 Country with medieval battles, music and science fun.

Whatever you chose, you'll be sure to entertain your family in South East England this summer.
