The summer holidays are finally here and … how on earth are we going to fill them! The place to start is East Yorkshire. Enjoy time together at family friendly attractions, playing on safe beaches, having cosy pub lunches or even walking for miles in the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds countryside. Here’s some hints and tips to make a great day out in East Yorkshire hassle free and full of fun.

This last year has been hard for everyone and everyone has a story to tell of their time in a pandemic, their time in lockdown. From homeschooling, to living alone, caring for those who are vulnerable, having to shield because you are vulnerable, volunteering, and working in those really difficult, high pressure jobs where the whole country has relied on you, those whose businesses have had to adapt and have worked tirelessly everyday to keep going, and those whose jobs just disappeared - it’s fair to say there has been very little reprieve from work and from home. As things begin to reopen again and the world takes on some sort of sense of normal, it’s time for you!

Things haven’t been ‘normal’ for a while and we haven’t been able to visit our favourite places or share time with our favourite people. Now we’re creating a ‘new normal’ and it’s time to reconnect. Be with those familiar faces, bring them to the places where you’ve visited time and time again or bring them to somewhere new. Either way East Yorkshire is the place to enjoy time together.

Here’s some of our local experts giving us the insight on how to make the most of your time here.

East Yorkshire is so much more than the coast and the Yorkshire Wolds - although they are amazing and no one can deny that - East Yorkshire is heritage, industry and delightful town centre settings. From pretty canal walks, to towering Minsters, iconic structures and local independent businesses, immerse yourself in East Yorkshire heritage, experience life as a local and refresh your mind from the bustle of daily life. After a day of exploring East Yorkshire where do you see yourself resting, relaxing and reflecting on your day of discovery? Here’s some of our top picks to help you out in 2021.

The Easter holidays are just around the corner and although the kids have just got back to school, they’re going to be home again for two whole weeks! At least the weather is getting warmer and the days are finally getting lighter giving us all more time to get out and explore.

Here’s some ideas for a fun Easter break.

What makes a great walking route is different for everyone. Some want to walk along wild coastal headlands and breathe in fresh sea air, others might prefer a ramble across rolling hills, and whilst some will want to make sure they see birds and animals on route, others will be looking at fauna and flora.  

Long or short, coast or countryside, circular or ending with a delicious pub lunch, we have a huge variety of walks to choose from across East Yorkshire.
