Holiday from home/cheap days out - ideas please!

I have got 2 weeks booked off work starting on Friday. Normally we would hire a car (we don't own a car now) and go away for a camping trip in the U.K. However this year we are far too skint to do that - OH is currently job hunting.

Instead we are having a 'holiday from home' so I would grateful for any ideas for day trips. Luckily my lovely stepmother has taken pity on us so is going to treat us to days out (and provide us with transport) and we have come with a few ideas already, but could do with a few more!

We live in Staffordshire. Any suggestions gratefully received!

    In todays NOTW, there is a 4 page pullout with 2for 1 offers and kids free entry tickets, which may be useful to you.

    Thanks!

    I had some problems with MSE yesterday afternoon so I wasn't able to do a proper reply.
