Each year they get something they need, something they want, a wodge of cash etc, but also we book a family event for later in the year for us all. We are a blended family of 5 DCs: 20, 18, 17, 15, 13 plus DH and I.
In past years, and with advice from MN, we have had a few days at DLP, a day at Harry Potter studios, indoor skydiving, glamping and alpaca trekking.
Any brilliant ideas for this year? Thanks

Are you all as blank as me then!
I can't think of anything within reason which they would all enjoy . Maybe a city break?

Escape room? Crystal maze experience in London? Or zombie apocalypse experience zombieexperiences.co.uk/

Walk across the top of the O2 (just seen it recommended on another thread Grin).

Thanks for the ideas so far. I should have mentioned 12YO suffers anxiety/aspergers and 18YO afraid of heights.
I'm completely blocked......all ideas very appreciated.
Thanks

How about a day at the races? You can pay for a private room or a meal in a restaurant normally with a view of the course. Everyone can gamble a little (you just have to put the bet on for under 18s) and enjoy looking at the horses to decide which one to chose.

I was going to suggest AirKix (wind tunnel where you float like free fall) we went to Milton Keynes.

Your 12yo and 18yo probably wouldn't like it but would they watch everyone else? (I did one fall then sat out )

Just looked at the Zombie Experience £££ but my DS might like the Escape Room (he's a TWD fan)

Ah - you've done indoor sky diving.......Blush

Ive2never done it, but what about hiring a barge and going along the canals? Chris Evens (radio 2 not captain america) was talking about how good it was earlier in the year.

Thanks for all your advice. Eldest teens are very limited due to part time jobs/studies so rather than trying to tie any of them down to a weekend I've booked Escape Rooms for between Christmas and New Year on one day when I can guarantee they will all make it.
