Make the most of the final days before schools return and the last long weekend until Christmas by taking your loved ones out for a day to explore what’s on offer in our wonderful county.
We’ve taken the legwork out of hunting around for things to do with this guide to ten attractions.
9. The Great British Car Journey, Ambergate
Fans of the time-travelling car in the Back to the Future film can see awesome examples of the fabulous DeLorean marque at the Great British Car Journey museum on bank holiday Monday. Kids who dress as mini Marty McFly or Doc Brown could win a ride in a DeLorean, model cars and a goody bag. Chris Parnham, author of DeLorean: Celebrating the Impossible, will be sharing his expert knowledge. Go to www.greatbritishcarjourney.com Photo: Shutterstock/Fernandov
