Humber Bridge Country Park, Hessle, East Yorkshire
This post is part of our FREE Family Days out in Yorkshire series
Check out our post – Things to do in Hull with the kids
It’s years since I last went to Humber Bridge Country Park. We were up that way one evening last week to meet family and the girls were desperate to get down on the beach and play but it was getting late so I promised we’d come back again very soon.

Little Fun Fest, York Maze, September 2013
Today, we have been at Little Fun Fest at York Maze. We’ve had loads of fun and done some fabulous things. There was so much to do that we didn’t get chance to do everything. There were shows constantly from 11am over two different stages, a fun-fair, various characters wandering about to meet, and most of the usual York Maze attractions. The shows were packed with familiar (and less familiar) faces including Alex, Mister Maker, and Mr Bloom from CBeebies, and children’s entertainers such as That Poetry Bloke, and puppets from Phil Fletcher.

Lightwater Valley, Ripon, North Yorkshire
Lightwater Valley near Ripon in North Yorkshire has been operating as a theme park since the 1980s and is somewhere I remember going as a child, though I don’t remember too much about it!
These days it is a huge 175 acre site and incorporates a shopping village and a bird of prey centre. It has over 40 rides and attractions and is home to Europe’s longest roller coaster – The Ultimate. More recently, it has opened a brand new Angry Birds play area.

Hands on History is a free museum in Hull City Centre. It is a brilliant way of passing an hour with children. It can be incorporated into a visit to other Hull museums, like Streetlife Museum, and is located about a quarter of the way round on the Hull Fish Trail.

Bobby Shafto Caravan Park, Beamish, County Durham
Bobby Shafto Caravan Park is ideally placed for Beamish Museum and Tanfield Railway. We spent one night here in August 2013.
It is a lot smaller than it looks on the website. There are a couple of large caravan fields with statics and tourers, and a touring field for caravans and tents. There are also some wooden camping pods.
