Currently, there are eight bank holidays in the British calendar spread throughout the year. However, despite the welcome days off work for most people, bank holiday breaks present most families with a predicament; where to go that offers enough to keep everyone happy?

Given the erratic nature of the British weather trips to the beach can sometimes prove an absolute washout, so any fun-filled alternatives that can be enjoyed in all weathers prove extremely popular. Such an attraction is the Alton Towers resort. As well as all the thrills and spills of the outdoor theme park, there’s a fantastic indoor Waterpark offering plenty of aquatic fun for kids of all ages, plus a few other activities guaranteed to put smiles on faces!

From fast, scary rides that test even the strongest nerves to sedate attractions for the little ones guaranteed to generate big grins; Alton Towers has something to keep everyone busy. That’s because families are particularly well catered for and that doesn’t just include day trippers. Child-friendly themed hotel Splash Landings offers a superb guest experience and includes unlimited access to the exclusive Cariba Creek Waterpark, complete with its superb collection of water slides and pools.

For ‘sporty’ youngsters and adult there is the opportunity to experience golf that’s out a little out of the ordinary. The zany Alton Towers Extraordinary Golf course winds its way through the theme park attractions, covering 18 glorious holes on two nine-hole courses and offering plenty of giggles along with the putts.
