School Holiday Events and Activities
July 9th, 2018
It’s July, and the summer break is just around the corner. You know what that means… The kids will be bored. However, we know how difficult it can be to plan a holiday that the whole family can enjoy, so we’ve put together a few ideas for fun, family activities around the Peak District. From stately home tours to music festivals, it really does have something for everyone. Here are our top picks for school holiday events and attractions that are well worth your while.
Mount Cook Adventure Holiday Camps 
This is a 5 day event is full of awesome outdoor activities for children ages 8 to 12 years. You can also join for individual days to take part in some fun, challenging activities that are designed to get kids moving. Since this camp is residential, why not book yourselves into one of our holiday cottages? You can enjoy peace and and tranquility in the countryside whilst the kids camp out and have fun.

Chatsworth House
Chatsworth House provides a wonderful family-friendly day out. Meet the farmyard animals and enjoy a guided walk with some live music any day of the summer holidays.
