Summer holidays are just around the corner, and parents across the UK are searching for inspiration to make this year's break truly unforgettable. To help them, organisers are calling on families to share their most cherished ideas for day trips that have brought genuine joy and lasting memories.
Submissions can range from visits to outdoor sculpture parks or art galleries to serene picnic spots by rivers, charming small theme parks, or picturesque coastal hikes leading to secluded coves. The emphasis is on unique, family-friendly adventures that cater to diverse tastes and interests.
The competition offers a £200 voucher towards a stay at a Coolstays property as the top prize. With over 3,000 properties worldwide, Coolstays provides an extensive range of options for families to plan their next getaway.
Entries will be judged by Tom Hall from Lonely Planet, ensuring that winning tips are genuinely exceptional and appealing. Top suggestions will also feature in The Guardian's Travel section and website, providing contributors with wider recognition.
Families can submit their ideas via a concise entry of approximately 100 words, accompanied by relevant photographs if desired. Please note that only UK residents are eligible to participate for legal reasons.
The submission window remains open until Monday, July 6th at 10 am BST, allowing families just enough time to share their treasured day out experiences and win a valuable prize for a future holiday.
