Half term is here and the summer holidays is just on the horizon, so I wanted to share my one top tip for affordable days out with the family, one that has saved both my pocket and my sanity some days - it is a National Trust membership .
In our house it is the gift that keeps on giving. Getting out, particularly in the warmer months, always helps to clear the cobwebs and offers the opportunity to make memories with the children, but it often becomes a costly exercise. Entry into most places nowadays is eye-wateringly expensive and once in, you’re sure to find many more ways to be parted with your cash, which means such outings can become reserved only for a ‘special occasion’.
However, National Trust members have no such concerns and it’s much cheaper than many realise. If like me, you pay for your membership monthly, it is actually pretty affordable. Family membership including two adults and all of their children aged 17 and under costs £13.
25 a month, and for single parent families, membership costs just £8.25 a month, admitting one adult with their children. Visit just one place a month and it’s more than paid for itself, visit more and you’re quids in.
