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.
