We need a break, parents i need your help!

Where can i take my 3yr old for a little "holiday"?
Criteria is:

End of March, for a few days.
We live North east, willing to travel, possibly even abroad.
Not a budget as such, but cheaper would be better.
Need things to keep her entertained during the day, and obviously something to do on a night instead of sitting in a hotel would be good.

Thanks guys. I did see Peppa pig world which would of been good, but sadly will have to wait till later in the year for this one when it opens.
If it ain't reduced, i don't buy it! :j

  • Have you got some links for private hire please. We did see the rock and roll event on the 21st but its 4 nights which is a little too long as need to pay dog kennels.
    If it ain't reduced, i don't buy it! :j
  • Wow, the butlins site itself is cheaper than all of those private ones!! Is there any way of getting around the staying 4 nights thing apart from just to come home earlier?
