Get out and about with National Trust 

As Britain’s largest conservation organisation, The National Trust has many trails, events and adventures specifically created for children and families. With over 700 miles of spectacular coastline and 247,000 hectares of land, you can take in a few of their top family walks, choose from their great options for a group bike ride, or take in the best gardens for children to explore, climb trees and go wildlife spotting. 

Whatever you choose to do, you’ll earn 2 points for every £1 spent on National Trust memberships, and yes, that includes memberships for children. Better yet, if you decide to take in as much of the country as you can, book with Virgin Trains Ticketing and earn points on every journey.

Catch the latest releases

After all that adventure you may need a bit of a rest, but if you’re going to take a load off why not watch a film at the same time? Grab a ticket at Vue, Showcase, Cineworld or Picturehouse cinemas and catch new blockbusters released just in time for the holidays like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish or Super Mario Bros.

An age-appropriate art class with Art-K

The class is run by Art-K, a small business backed by Virgin StartUp, across 17 locations in London and the South East.
