We'll help to keep the kids busy
For children, school holidays stretch ahead as long days of freedom, and Ten can help with ideas about how to fill that free time. Tell us your child's age, sex and interests and our specialists will find out what's on in your area and send you a tailor-made list of activities. We'll also handle any bookings you need to make.
Here are some of the ways in which we can help:
Theatre Our entertainment team can book tickets to child-friendly shows at theatres across the country. We'll recommend productions to suit your child's age, and find out about any special activities, drama classes and workshops that are taking place.
Parks Parks are perfect for an impromptu day out: you don't need to book tickets and many have a wide range of fun activities such as adventure playgrounds, petting zoos, tennis courts, paddling pools or ice rinks. Ten can source family-sized picnic hampers for members who want to make a day of it in the park, we can also recommend and purchase games suitable for all group sizes - call us and we'll arrange delivery.
Exhibitions ‘Some galleries have special areas dedicated to children all year round and, during school holidays, run workshops, hands-on activities and shows especially for children,' says Teresa Fullalove, our home and family expert. ‘And if your child is interested in space travel, dinosaurs or sports, we'll can advise on the right exhibition to take them to, whether it's the National Space Centre in Leicester, the Dinosaur Museum in Dorset or the Arsenal museum at the Emirates Stadium.'
Sports Martial arts lessons, horse-riding schools, swimming pools, tennis coaches: Ten can help kids have an active time during the holidays. Teresa says: ‘We can also organise special events. In the past we've arranged for children and their dads to have a day's cricket training followed by dinner with stars such as Mark Ramprakash.'
Holiday camps We can book you into holiday camps in the UK and abroad. ‘We've arranged adventure camps for teens, bush skills courses for the whole family and week-long sports camps for children of all ages.'
