As the sun beams down on Northamptonshire, many of us are wondering what to do to keep the kids entertained this weekend.
With the need for social distancing as important as ever, outdoor family fun days are a great option, especially as many attractions have adapted their business to make sure fun can be had safely and inline with the Covid guidelines.
Across the county there are plenty of great options including parks, farms, stately homes, strawberry picking and more that families can enjoy responsibly.
From Mini Meadows in Welford, to the nature trail at Rushden Lakes, there is something for everyone, no matter how old your children are or how far you want to travel.
And for those who want to venture a bit further, there are also some great options just outside of the county too.
Below is a list of 13 great family fun days out and how they have been adapted to fit the current Government guidelines. All attractions ask that visitors adhere to the social distancing rule.
5. Salcey Forest, near Roade
6. Castle Ashby Gardens, Castle Ashby
To visit this attraction, tickets and a time slot must be pre-booked as capacity has been reduced. The play area and toilets are open but the shop remains closed.

There are currently only three rides open at the theme park, but the huge outdoor play area is open, as are the cafe and ice cream parlour.
