Somewhere to go for the bank holiday?

[whatsagoodusername]

When you've finished laughing at us for leaving this so late ( ), any recommendations for a destination for the bank holiday weekend?

We live in London, don't have a car, and have 4.5 and 3.5yo DSs. We could look at hiring a car if it's not extortionate, but prefer trains.

We would quite possibly go with two other couples, both of whom have DSs (aged 3 and 2.5).

Quite happy with anywhere, doing anything. The DC are all pretty energetic, so something for them would be good.

I don't know where to start. Any ideas are much appreciated.

Camping? That would be my perfect bank holiday but it's not for everyone.

What about day trips? Brighton. Hever castle has an event that weekend too. Take in a show . The carnival
