  • Are Scottish schools having that holiday? They usually don't. Unsure about if they get the BHs. What about seeing if it's any cheaper there.[/QUOTE]

    Hi, has any one come across any bargains for the June school holidays? Were open to anything, aboad or UK, camping, caravan or hotel, anything! Obviously we would pay more for abroad, but dont have a set budget as such, we just want to get away!!!!!

    I know its not likely we will find a bargain in the school hols, but any suggestions of fun places for the kids and I (4 and 6) would be appreciated!!

    We are based in East Yorks!!

    Hi' 'we're going to Dunirell in Holland in half term with Canvas holidays. We booked direct with them and got a fab bargain for the week, and paid for the ferry (harwich to hook of holland with tesco deals) We booked last July though to get such a good price.
    This will be our second time at this park. We went last july Fri-mon with the Sun.
    Not sure what the dates will be for the new sun hols, and if they will include the June half term, but why not have a look and see what's available. they are brilliant value, particularly if you are going to one of the European parks in the School hols.
    We're off to France in October half term on a sun break.
    good luck with finding something.
  • Looks like people are taking advantage of upping prices around the Jubliee week so might be better to look for voucher deals for days out or even try camping or glamping. You can also get good ferry deals to get over to Holland as we did last year.
  • The majority of Scottish schools have an in-service (inset day) on the Thurs and return to school on the 6th. I know that Highland Council (Inverness & up) are only taking the 4th off.
