you're looking for some ideas on how to have fun on a budget, look no further!

Do a spring clean

The four-day weekend is the perfect opportunity for a massive clear out. Plus if you manage to sell your unwanted stuff you could earn a bit of extra cash to fund some more exciting activities.

Pack off the kids

If you’ve got teens loitering around the house, you could get them out of your hair and give them an enriching experience by taking them to Cuddle Puddle or any other fun filled that suitable for children.

Get cooking

If you have younger kids and are looking for something fun to do, you can decide to relax at home and prepare a good meal for them. Magazines often carry recipes, so get yourself one and get started. You can also get aprons for children to help you in the cooking so that they can share their newfound skills with the rest of the family.

Watch a film

The cinema at the Gables at Ezulwini has special viewings set up for kids over the Easter holidays. But that doesn’t mean the grown-ups can’t catch a film too!

Alternatively why not give one of the many streaming services a go? Now TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video all offer 30-day free trials initially, so whether you’re after a recent big budget blockbuster or a classic, you won’t have to pay a cent!

 Visit a museum

Make some time to check out your local museums – many of which should be free.

Alternatively, check out the dofreestuff.com website which allows you to click on your area and find out which museums and attractions are free nearby. For example, if you live in the West Midlands, you can pay a visit to the Coventry Transport Museum or the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

 Catch a show

Going to the theatre doesn’t have to be expensive..

Alternatively you can have a cracking time at a comedy club.

 Go for a walk

For a truly cheap activity, why not get out and about in the fresh air and go for a walk?

You can’t beat a refreshing walk in the countryside, followed by a fabulous pub lunch to refuel!

Have a cheap meal out

If you fancy a meal out over the Easter break, it doesn’t have to burn a hole in your wallet.

It is important to enjoy your Easter holidays because you will be back at work before you know it!
