Looking for inspiration for this summer.
Where are you going during the school holidays this year with your family?

Germany, England, Canada, Hungary and Italy. But they’re mostly work-related trips. We’ve already had our big holiday this year in South Africa. It was only 7 days but amazing!

Stompythedinosaur · 09/07/2026 19:38

Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa - am beyond excited!

Cornwall, camber sands and little Hampton

London for 4 days at the very beginning, to watch diamond league athletics, the Wallace and Gromit exhibition at the young V&A and some other fun things. A long weekend in the Lake District in the middle to bag some more Wainwrights and the last 2 weeks of the hols we are going to Namibia. Our kids are not back at school until second week of September, not a private school it means they finish quite late next July, so it's a lot of time to fill.

4 days Florence and 8 days Lake Garda

We had our main holiday, we went to Canada (east coast), it was really lovely, we just need to get back on normal time now.

Week at home (this week in this amazing weather!) Long weekend on South Coast, few days in London, long weekend at a music festival.
We save our abroad holidays for Feb/October half term when UK weather is guaranteed to be rubbish 😂

Devon for a week in a caravan, and Menorca AI for a week.

Actaully looking forward to Devon more as I really don’t know if I can’t be arsed any more with flying and all the malarkey that comes with going abroad. Probably tainted by last time we went abroad we got delayed on the way out for 9 hours 😱

Cornwall

Spanglybangles · 09/07/2026 23:34

Western Canada for 2.5 weeks. Can’t wait!

Divebar2021 · 09/07/2026 23:38

Lisbon and then out to the coast in Portugal by train. Staying in a couple of coastal towns. However next year we’re doing a safari in South Africa followed by 10 days in Zanzibar

Florabella · 10/07/2026 06:16

Montenegro- can’t wait!

Appleblum · 10/07/2026 06:20

Malaysia, Australia, then Japan. Wish me luck packing!

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2026 06:23

We’ve got a week in Cornwall booked and then I’ve booked 2 weeks of leave during August so we’ll see what we can book for then! We both hate planning/researching holidays so usually tend to leave it last minute to book as neither of us want to even start looking 😂

LoudSnoringDog · 10/07/2026 06:26

Kuala Lumpur and Bali

Santasbigredbobblehat · 10/07/2026 06:31

Croatia AI and a week at Bluestone in Wales.

mellongoose · 10/07/2026 06:55

SE France, for a week or so, if we ever get anything booked!

NotDarkGothicMama · 10/07/2026 07:36

A week self-catering and outdoor sports at Lake Bled, then a long weekend in the Trossachs. Sooo looking forward to it!

A long weekend in the Trossachs remains one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever been on!
