Summer is here, and ready for all of your adventurous spirit. No matter who you are, you deserve to have a blast, and to explore this wild world with your children to show them the magic that lies in it.
For this reason, planning out some events and enjoyable efforts you could take part in can be a great place to begin. This will help you secure a spot or book tickets in advance, figure out your transportation on the way there, and make any accommodation preparations before you head out.
2023’s is shaping up to be a wonderful summer, not only because the weather is promising to be sunny and glorious, but because the fairly off-kilter, frustrating and surprising start to the decade is finally in the rear view mirror.
With that in mind, let’s consider how to kick off your 2023 family summer in the best way possible:
Head To The Theatre
Heading to the theatre can give you access to your local culture, show your children some wonderful stories, and support arts in your area. Theatre shows can be so much more intimate and enjoyable than heading to the cinema, particularly if it’s a new rendition of a story you love. Don’t worry about the intensity of the experience, however, as theatre shows often run child-friendly shows. This might be child-friendly interpretations of Shakespeare, of their favorite fairy tale, or even musicals that inspire people to get involved and sing along. The theatre is a real event, one you can fall in love with, so don’t be afraid to try it.
Visit A Local Summer Show
Heading to a local summer show that celebrates your local area can be a hoot. For instance, the Royal Three Counties show in the heart of Malvern is not only an inspiring time, but helps you learn more about the local area, with a range of booths and attractions, rural inspirations, and more. It may be that your community is running a folk or indie festival you can get involved with, or a fundraising effort you may be able to present at. Even a car trunk or boot sale can be a nice community event, and grant you some money for the rest of your holidays in the process.
Wildlife, Wildlife, Wildlife!
Summer is the perfect time to be inspired by the natural world, and to get out there to really see it. You may decide to head to the West Midland’s Safari Park, Chester Zoo, your local aquarium or any among a number of excellent wildlife-adjacent institutions dedicated to presenting you animals you may never see otherwise. Also, don’t discount the love and wonder involved in visiting a petting zoo for farm animals, often up-close content with sheep, cows, goats and horses can be wonderful for young children to see, particularly if they live in relatively suburban environments and don’t have the chance to see such animals so regularly.
With this advice, you’re sure to kick your family summer off perfectly. Just think, if this is the start, the rest of the season is going to be wonderful!
