Beat Boredom with the Great British Break Guide

Now that school’s out for summer, the challenge is on to keep the kids amused and stick to a budget that doesn’t break the bank. To make sure quality time with the family is a pleasure and not a chore, we all know it makes sense to plan plenty of activities in advance – but we don’t always have the time.

If you’re already running out of ideas and the start of the autumn term seems a long way off, fear not, help is at hand. Check out Auto Europe’s new ‘Great British Break’ guide – available to download for free now from the homepage of Auto Europe

There’s certainly no shortage of things to do in the UK, but the choice can be a bit overwhelming. That’s why we have trawled the internet searching for the best attractions and deals available, combining them with some useful tips to make sure any journey goes without a hitch.

As well as some independent advice on some of the most child-friendly destinations in the UK, the best days out for under a tenner and fuel economising advice, the guide provides some sanity-saving tips for car journeys to avoid that dreaded chant of ‘are we there yet?’.

Cutting costs is a phrase on everyone’s lips at the moment, so the special offers also included with the guide will be particularly handy. They include:

• An extra 5% off already discounted UK car hire rates from Auto Europe
• 10% off any Hoseasons summer holiday taken in 2008
• 10% off satellite navigation hire
• A free child’s entry into the award-winning Eureka! Museum
• 5% off theatre breaks and theme park tickets courtesy of Holiday Extras

Britain really can be a fantastic place to spend a summer (despite the damp conditions) but most of us aren’t aware of all the family-friendly destinations and diverse range of entertainments right on our doorsteps. I’d definitely recommend this guide to any parent who needs some inspiration.
